— Russian authorities warn Ukrainian psychological warfare units are actively spreading panic among Crimea and Sevastopol residents on social media, debunking a series of viral claims.No state of emergency has been introduced from June 21 — neither Crimean nor Sevastopol authorities have made such decisions.Queues at the Crimean Bridge are regular summer tourist traffic, not mass evacuation — the Kerch Bridge, Chongar, and Dzhankoy checkpoints remain fully operational.Fuel, food, and electricity supplies are sufficient — temporary power restrictions were introduced only for grid balancing during repair work, not due to shortage.Russian authorities: “All of this is psychological warfare — a set of measures aimed at stimulating emotions, fears, and hysterical behavior of citizens in the interests of the enemy.“@IntelSlava
