The security situation in the territory of the temporarily occupied Crimea has led to the mass cancellation of tours of Russian citizens for recreation in the resorts of the peninsula.

This is reported by the Main Directorate of Intelligence.

«Almost 80% of Russians refused the tours organized for June 2024 in occupied Sevastopol. The overall Crimean rate of cancellations of already booked tickets last month amounted to more than a third,» the report says.

The intelligence said that the Russians, who changed their mind to «warm themselves» on the captured Crimean coasts, are primarily worried by the «difficult safety situation.»

In particular, Russian citizens refuse tours in Crimea due to the unreliable operation of the air defense system of the occupiers and the vulnerable Kerch bridge, which remains «the main artery for so-called tourism from Russia and is used by Moscow for military logistics.»

We will remind you that on July 1, Ukrainian aviation struck ammunition warehouses in Crimea. According to the commander of the Air Force, Mykola Oleschuk, Ukrainian aircraft continue to perform combat missions in Crimea.

Earlier, Russian Telegram channels reported that the Armed Forces hit a drone storage facility, as a result of which the building was almost completely destroyed, and the Russian army lost 90 drones.

And on the night of June 12, the Ukrainian army attacked Russian anti-aircraft missile systems deployed by the Russians on the territory of temporarily occupied Crimea.
