Crimea's loyalists accept explosions but fear false hope
Pro-Ukrainian citizens in occupied Crimea are ready for strikes on Russian logistics, but their biggest fear is getting disappointed again.
According to Refat Chubarov, head of the Mejlis, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians on the occupied peninsula are completely calm about military targets getting blown up. What actually terrifies them is the emotional hangover from 2023. Locals are directly asking officials for one thing: don't give false hope unless the job gets finished.
Meanwhile, roughly a million Russian settlers and local turncoats live in a very different reality. They are effectively sitting on packed suitcases, waiting for a definitive signal that it's time to run — with the complete destruction of the Kerch Bridge top on their trigger list.
Nothing accelerates a relocation plan quite like watching the primary exit route vanish from Google Maps.
