Explosions, panic, departure queues. The liberation of Crimea should take place at the same time as Putin's fall in - interview with Chubarov's Refat

What is happening and how do you explain these events? - It seems to me that all Ukraine already knows that two explosions in the Dzhankoy district have occurred about the sixth in the morning. The most powerful of them is near the village, which is now called Maskoe. There is an old abandoned livestock complex, farms. In these premises, Russian invaders have created a powerful ammunition composition. Video Day In the morning, explosions began, there are a lot of videos.

Many experts say it could be drones or explosions carried out in a different way. Let it there, the detonation of ammunition lasted at least [until 10 am]. The local occupation authorities surrounded the perimeter around this ammunition composition within five kilometers, and all the inhabitants of these villages are evacuated from there. More than two thousand people evacuated. There are damage to homes. I know that the school is damaged.

There was also an explosion on the transformer substation on the railway path, canvas. There is now no traffic connection. When trains enter Kerch, from Russia across the bridge to the occupied Crimea, they reach Dzhanko, almost to the Kherson region, and then they return to the middle of Crimea, to Simferopol or Sevastopol. Now there is no connection, repair the railway. It is clear that the invaders say they find out the reasons. Great panic in this place for holidaymakers.

Again, people report that many cars with Russian citizens have reached the bridge through the Kerch Strait. - That is, now Russian citizens are just running away from the Crimea? Can you confirm this information? - Those who intended to leave these days did not wait. As a rule, people who rest in the resorts to the last squeeze this vacation. And here they say "no-no, we do not need it, we need to leave. " In any case, traffic is unnatural, not as every day.

This indicates that some people have left or wants to leave the Crimea as soon as possible. - Do you see the connection between today's events in the Dzhankoy district and explosions at the military airfield near Novofedorivka on August 9? - Crimea is the occupied territory of Ukraine. There is a task of liberation of South of Ukraine. And the south of Ukraine is not only the Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions, but also Crimea.

I see the connection between these combat operations by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Both in Melitopol and Novooleksiyivka, Kherson region, almost on the border between the Kherson region and the occupied Crimea, Novofedorovka, and today near Dzhankoy. People in the Crimea who expect the restoration of Ukrainian sovereignty jokes: the bridge is very offended through the Kerch Strait, which he has to stand in line.

- At the beginning of a full -scale invasion of Ukraine, the leadership of Ukraine said that the end of the war and victory of Ukraine would consider the time when the occupiers would completely release the Ukrainian territories. Of course, it also concerned Crimea as well. Please tell me what do you see the way of release of the temporarily occupied peninsula? - On the eve of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, his decree created an advisory council, which he headed.

This council, as defined in the preamble of the Decree, will deal with the development and implementation of actions aimed at de -occupation of Crimea and its further integration. I think this is the main task. But in the speeches of Ukrainian politicians, including Zelensky, these methods are very clearly defined in the Crimean Deoccupation Strategy. It is clear that we will try to de -occupy Crimea, as much as possible, avoiding the fighting directly in the peninsula.

But everything will show the situation. It was thought until February 24. If you mention, a year ago was the first summit of the Crimean platform. More than 43 countries have called on Russia to leave Crimea in a peaceful way. On August 23, the first event of the Crimean platform, the presidential speech, heads of other states will be again. I think we will hear a lot of specifics.

It seems to me that the release of Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions will take place at the same time as very deep processes in Russia itself. The internal situation will be very complicated and the regime will already fall. I would like to hope that the liberation of Crimea will be without cruel fighting, and due to the fact that Russia will simply emerge from all Ukrainian lands, because there will be a fall of Putin's regime.

- Please tell me how people with a pro -Ukrainian position, which are now on the peninsula? Terrible messages come. For example, yesterday it was reported that for 10 days they arrested DJ, who showed a Ukrainian song on the Project. On August 11, there was a message that the invaders were conducting new searches with activists in Crimea. - So. Every day there is information about persecution, repression by Russian invaders.

On July 24, a young guy from Genichesky district of APPAZ Kurtet went to the Crimea to his relatives, he was arrested at the CPVV Chongar. From the moment we do not know where it is. The FSB and others reject that he is, but we know that he was captured on an administrative border with Crimea. Just a little earlier, in April, but it became known now, [disappeared] by Kherson Arsen Ibrahimov, who came to Crimea with his mother.

Sometimes we say that it is evacuated from the Kherson region, you can do it through occupied Crimea and it will not be a violation from the point of view of Ukrainian laws. Some people intend to evacuate through Crimea, but young boys, men can be even more tragedy here than where they are now in occupied Kherson. The courts continue over the Crimean political prisoners.

Now the meetings are active, the courts over Nariman Dzhelyalov - the first deputy chairman of the Majlis of the Crimean Tatar people. He was arrested on September 5 last year, as soon as he returned from the Crimean Platform meeting, where he participated in some events with the President of Ukraine.

- How do the locals respond to the explosions today and what happened in Novofedorovka before? Are they ready for such events? - It should be said that Crimea is very different in terms of people's behavior. If we talk about the Crimean Tatars and some of the Ukrainians, we are aware that they are waiting for a return to Ukraine, as they say, to restore Ukraine's sovereignty.

For them, these events that have happened today are a very powerful signal that Ukraine does not forget about Crimea, and that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will surely liberate Crimea. It brings them joy. But at the same time, they, like all people, are of course afraid of fighting. We now advise people to prepare personal ways of protection so that they can protect. People do not expect such recommendations, they are very smart and do it themselves.
