Russia’s invading forces have developed an “evacuation” plan for occupying administration officials and their families to move from the occupied town of Vasylivka, Zaporizhzhya Oblast to Crimea, Ukraine’s National Resistance Center (NRC) reported on March 13.
The scheme would see collaborators and their families flee to temporarily occupied Crimea two hours before the retreat of the Russian army. The plan is an attempt by Russian authorities to calm nervous traitors, said the NRC.
The agency added that occupying administrations in Crimea have also developed similar evacuation plans and are compiling lists of employees and family members who are subject to priority evacuation.
The agency says that some lists have already been drafted and approved in some settlements, including Krasnoperekopsk, a town in the north of Ukraine’s Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula.
“Such actions of the invaders indicate that they don’t believe that ‘Russia is here forever’ as local propaganda claims, and (that they) don’t intend to stay in Ukraine for a long time,” the report says.
“At the same time, the enemy continues looting and exploiting Ukrainian industrial facilities in the occupied territories.”
