Russian 'holidaymaker' breaks down in tears after fleeing Crimea



Tearful Russians have been captured on video lamenting their evacuation from Crimea after a series of deadly explosions destroyed a crucial Russian airbase close to a popular beach.

One woman was filmed in floods of tears as she was driven away from the peninsula, which Russia illegally annexed from Ukraine in 2014, following the purported attack.
'I don't want to leave Crimea at all... it's so amazing here. We were living here like its our home, everything is wonderful. It feels like home!' she cried in a clip circulating on social media.

Ukrainian interior ministry adviser Anton Gerashchenko gleefully shared the footage on Twitter, commenting: 'Do you think Russians will finally begin to understand that it's really a war.



Well Slava Ukraini!! No tears from me for any of the Russians in Crimea.

More info. in the description of the video on the YouTube page. Gerashchenko claims the traffic jam out of Crimea back to Russia stretches for 62 miles!! Run Orcs, Run!!

started labeling Russian troops "orcs" some time ago. The term is starting to have a general meaning for any Russian as the war drags on.

especially in their shelling and killing of women, children and non-combatants.

Your link says it all.

There is truth in the fact, at this moment in time, that Crimea is a bad vacation destination. I gotta give credit to those Ukrainians and their sense of humor.
