“This is an imitation! The Russians didn’t leave!” – in Kyiv they did not believe Shoigu’s words about the withdrawal of troops
Russia is simulating the withdrawal of troops gathered for exercises from Crimea, but in reality, despite statements by Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, a powerful group still remains on the peninsula.
The so-called “ex-representative of the President of Ukraine in Crimea” Boris Babin stated this on Channel 24, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Do you really believe that such a question can have an affirmative answer in a conflict situation? What did they do there? They imitate folding like this. Even our experts unanimously say that there is no curtailment.
And, again, the grouping of the Black Sea Fleet and the ships that they transferred, landing ships and others, from the Caspian Sea to the Black Sea, they did not disappear, they are all here! All the groups exist, they transferred an airborne brigade to Feodosia and, excuse me, did they disappear into thin air? Of course not!
Yes, they constantly operate with separate units, transfer them across the Kerch Bridge - it was built in order to quickly transfer units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, this is its main task. But to say that “let’s breathe out, let’s celebrate Easter, everything is fine” – I wouldn’t say that,” Babin said.
