According to our operational information, it has became known that the number of insurgents of “Crimean self-defense” and Cossacks on the streets of Sevastopol has dramatically decreased. Only the roadblocks are on duty, all the rest were sent home to have a rest. Outposts around the city are weakened. The city patrols virtually disappeared. “Night Wolves” bikers have left their place of duty. From the overheard conversations between Russian servicemen we know that they were given an tacit order to win over or capture as many Ukrainian military units in Crimea as possible till March 21. It is possible that these maneuvers weakening the “self-defense” and removal of patrols are associated with a possible military operation by Russian troops.
