It would be a shame if the Ukrainians offer a Russian style “humanitarian corridor” (a la Sloviansk, Mariupol, etc…) for them to escape back to Mother Russia when Crimea is liberated, right @DarthPutinKGB?
RT @KramarenkoMari3: A bridge was closed in #Crimea
The occupiers are afraid of a missile attack and turn all the cars back.
According to Crimean mass media, the ferry crossing is also not working.

Nothing new for East Europeans
RT @mhmck: Occupiers in Starobil's'k forcibly evict Ukrainians who refuse to accept Russian passports from their homes. They are thrown into the streets with their belongings, even with children present.
After eviction, Ukrainians are sent to filtration camps and their property is stolen. https://t.co/TPMQK8GMQC

Do read. And ponder whether Russia should move its capital back to Kazan.
RT @ACEurasia: "Vladimir Putin wants not just to defeat the Ukrainian resistance to his invasion—he is seeking a civilizational win as a validation of Russia’s Eurasian course," argues @andrewmichta.

it described the police killing of Michael Brown without including his size/weight
it didn't falsely hype antifa's role in the "2020 riots"

Seems Putin and Russia are now so isolated that only the president of. Kyrgistan will show up for the bizarre Pobeda Cult orgy-sabbath in Moscow in six days.
It’s so embarrassing even Putin himself may not show.
