Brothers, here’s a summary of March 5.

The bad news:

1. Despite our hopes, Putin’s tales of “no troops in Crimea” did not result in the occupant contingent quietly packing up and returning to the birch glades of their homeland. On the contrary – in the morning, we witnessed arrival of tanks to Crimea (Russian heavy armor is a novelty here, until now we only saw APCs and ‘Tigers’). Around the same time, command staff cars moved to the Turetskiy Val [next to the link to the mainland].

Essentially, the invaders are providing for an impenetrable defense of the Crimean peninsula. Alternatively, they could move onto Kherson oblast from here.
