An Odessa blogger spoke about a trip to Crimea under martial law
Odessa blogger Leonid Dolivo spoke about the nuances of traveling by car to the border with Russian Crimea under the conditions of martial law declared in Ukraine.
“Insurance and emergency services are the alpha and omega of the entire military situation,” with the presence of which it is possible to carry through Ukraine “even a little man, even a military arsenal, even a dismantled tank,” the author claims.
The blogger shared his impressions of the “martial situation” in the Odessa, Nikolaev and Kherson regions, which he had to cross while traveling to the Ukrainian-Crimean border near Armyansk.
According to Dolivo, during the drive in the Crimean direction there were practically no incidents - except for the Kherson traffic police officers who checked the driver for alcohol.
The blogger noted that in Nikolaev billboards of Evgeniy Muraev and Sergei Taruta are hung everywhere, and very rarely - of Petro Poroshenko. In Kherson there is continuous advertising for Muraev, a little Taruta, one board each for Vladimir Zelensky and Alexander Vilkul. On the road, “there is a Russian-language radio that disdainfully switches to Ukrainian only occasionally.”
“This is the border. Well, firstly, a relatively permanent building of the Patrol Police appeared, which is noticeably more decent than anything else... secondly, a toilet appeared.
The border itself is just waiting for the “enemy”, because the entire appearance of the “fighters” 18-25 years old suggests a wait-and-see favorable exchange rate for the ruble, so that they don’t feel sorry for the years they spent aimlessly on duty. Their photocopier was broken, and therefore everything was written by hand for more than one day,” recalls the Odessa resident.
The blogger told how on the way back, at the entrance to Kherson, the car simply could not help but be stopped.
“First of all, there are a lot of them. Person 8. Secondly, they are different. And in height, and in shape, and in intelligence. The conversation did not go well immediately, because the sober driver was identified. First of all, this is disgusting. Secondly, it contradicts common sense. An oppressive atmosphere arose. Questions started pouring in about insurance, first aid kit, emergency lights and other innocent pranks. Some of the colleagues knew how to make money, but the rest interfered with those who knew, and therefore they were sent first, to which the outcasts snapped from somewhere from behind the trunk. The question “why is she so tall?” and everything like that, apparently, involved combining the honor of a patrolman with a freelance employee of the magazine “Behind the Wheel”, who writes articles during work breaks. And at least someone would look into the trunk. Or asked for the sake of decency, what’s there? All creatures are uninterested. Insurance and emergency warnings are the alpha and omega of the entire “Martial Law”. Bring even a little man, even a military arsenal, even a disassembled tank. But remember about insurance. This is the key,” the blogger shares his impressions.
According to an Odessa resident, they passed through Nikolaev without problems and only at the entrance to Odessa did the travelers catch up with “two chandeliers.”
“The languid young man, with a burning gaze, states that he was moving at a speed of 115, noticeably sours after the question, “how did you determine this?”, clumsily moving on to “sobriety is the norm,” ending with the question of insurance. The culmination of the conversation is “well, are you all right?” allows you to feel that you are already in Odessa. God bless. My advice: if you are carrying a machine gun, an atomic bomb, or a copy of the brochure “how to defeat Putin,” be sure to have insurance. I just didn't have it. And I felt personal shame for as much as 635 km,” summed up Leonid Dolivo.
