The representative of Ukraine's Defence Intelligence said that the Russian command and occupation administration in Crimea are actively selling real estate and moving their families out of the peninsula. He warned that those who have tied their fate to the Russian regime should leave Crimea while they still have the opportunity. He added that the evacuation is part of a plan to return Crimea to its native Ukrainian harbor, which will happen in the near future.

The Ukrainian military intelligence representative reported that the day before, local residents heard a warning on FM stations to prepare to leave. Andriy Yusov believes that this warning was directed towards those Crimeans who had cooperated with the Russian occupation authorities. Additionally, the representative of the GUR stated that the Russian command on the peninsula and the occupation administration have been actively selling real estate and taking their families out of Crimea, indicating that the Russian authorities are beginning to evacuate from the temporarily occupied Crimea.
