According to the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Peskov, the Ukrainian military can freely leave the territory of the Crimea, “but with weapons or not, the Ministry of Defense will decide. ” The determining factor in this regard is likely to be stabilization of the situation on the territory of Ukraine, since it is hardly expedient to return weapons to the country that announced mobilization.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, at the first stage, the Russian side began an inventory of abandoned military hardware in the Crimea and ensured adequate protection of the entire military infrastructure of the Crimean peninsula in order to exclude possible thefts and looting.
