MODERATORS
There are still Ukrainian citizens living on most of the occupied territories, including Crimea. Burning down the whole place, unfortunately, isn't an option as they're effectively hiding behind hostages.
There are many, many "ethnically Russian" people in crimea whos families have lived there since long before the soviet union. Thats entirely different from the "oh look how cheap these recently unoccupied houses are!" people
Those are either Ukrainian, Crimean Tatars or descendants of russian imperial colonialists. So no, I don't mean those people, I mean actual Ukrainians and Tatars being held hostage
Slight problem with your plan, it's rather difficult to differentiate a persons nationality or their allegiance from a drone.
Also, you know, it being a crime against humanity.
Yes there is that pesky little thing.
They will leave on their own soon as Ukraine starts threatening their land.
It appears that one potential goal is to take out the air defence, show that they can destroy the Kerch bridge but leave it intact, then deny fresh water into Crimea (it comes in from the west). This puts them under siege, with a path out still, and a deadline.
Just targeting them gives Russia propoganda and makes the Russian people think Ukraine is evil and resist them. That's not what you want. Forcing them to leave still makes them scared and costs them money, and it forces them to spread the message wherever they end up. This is a much smarter move.
Delulu take tbh
Does it matter if the Russians moved there before or after Russia captured Crimea from Ukraine?
Yes and don’t sanitize your language. Russia stole the land through violent invasion and didnt even have the balls to do it openly and had to send in their unmarked mercenaries. Prior to Russian invasion, Russians who moved to Crimea immigrated and became Ukrainian. After Russia invaded, illegal Russian colonists (re: settlers) moved in and stole Ukrainian land.
This is a disgusting idea
