Details: According to Ukrainian intelligence, during a meeting, the Deputy Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Bulgakov, ordered that explosions at ammunition depots and military facilities, which are increasingly occurring on the territory of temporarily occupied Crimea, be kept secret.
In order to prevent panic, in cases where information about the destruction of military facilities becomes publicly known, the occupiers will attribute these to negligence of certain officials whose names have already been disclosed and who will be held accountable.
According to estimates by Ukrainian intelligence, thousands of Russians are already trying urgently to leave the territory of Crimea after the latest explosions at military storage sites.
Background: British intelligence said Russia had lost at least eight warplanes in the explosions at the Saky military airfield, although it is still possible to use the airfield.
