Crimea: Vast exit queues after bridge explosion • FRANCE 24 English

With the bridge connecting Crimea to Russia partially reopened following the massive blast that struck it on Saturday, October 8, vast lines of cars have been forming as motorists attempt to leave the Russian-occupied peninsula, with some saying they are having to wait up to ten hours to cross.

The difference between Ukraine and Russia is that Ukraine will not shell people stuck in this traffic queue.

[kimsoon]

Why flee? Are they afraid of getting treated the same way they treat the ukranians?

[bixbysnyder-]

Russians doing what Russians do best, running

[gont]

It is almost as long as the lines to flee the mobilization. Ukraine will not target the fleeing civilians at least.

Amazing that whoever destroyed the Crimean bridge left enough of it for Civilians to clog it up so that Putin's military can't escape with their equipment.

I love that this isnt just tactical but also psychological. Russians used to think Ukraine could not retaliate, now they have and just letting Russia know they are not safe anywhere. Even in Crimea where it it supposed to be well guarded.

I love the way all these Russians have suddenly decided that Crimea is not their homeland. Perhaps they should send Vova a message to that effect.

It is just a "Special Crimea Evacuation Mission"!

[ValensBellator]

If it weren’t for all of the tragic Ukrainian casualties this war effort from Russia would have all the qualities of a comedy.

[Nubbe]

Russian tourists in war zones. unbelievable.

[memmener]

Once they get back into Russia: welcome back, here are your mobilization papers.

[markuk]

Close the door behind you please!

Who goes vacationing in Crimea in October 2022?
I'm trying to understand the mental process leading to this outcome: "Honey, it's a bit late in the season, but you won't believe how cheap is this all-inclusive seaside resort!".

[lopezb]

Glad to see all the occupiers rushing to leave and go back to Mother Russia after their vacation on the sunny beaches. Just in time for a nice winter without Western goodies....and to get mobilised....

[sleepyshark]

Putin shouldn’t have built a bridge in stolen land.

[Tom-ndfs]

I am sure the portion still standing is structurally compromised too. And the same goes for the rail bridge

[jakleo]

It was a good opening, now to finish the job. Splash the remaining bridge parts.

[HigherChannel]

These people were on holiday in war zone. Wow.

[grahamadams]

It's as if they know what is coming !!
