Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has said that ordinary Russians understand that the time to enjoy the stolen Ukrainian land is coming to an end.
He said this on Twitter, commenting on the decrease in the number of search queries for holidays in occupied Crimea on Russian Yandex.
"Russians have lost interest in Crimea, according to data from the Russian search engine Yandex. In March 2023, there were half as many searches for "holidays in Crimea" (129,000) as in March 2022 (261,000). Even ordinary Russians understand that the time to enjoy the stolen Ukrainian land is coming to an end," Kuleba said.
According to the Defence Ministry's intelligence, senior officials in the occupying administration of Crimea and the Russian army are already selling property in Crimea and sending their families to Russia. It was also reported earlier that Russian businesses that have entered the peninsula since 2014 are withdrawing funds and preparing to evacuate from Crimea.
