In 2014, when Russia invaded Ukraine, they took Donetsk and Luhansk provinces. They also took the Crimean Peninsula. Since the February 2022 invasion, in need of infantry, Russia has been press ganging Luhansk and Donetsk males into their army. Now the Russians are starting to press gang Crimeans into the military as well:

Russia is trying to mobilize troops in Crimea

This will cause residents of Crimea, including those of Ukrainian heritage, to fight for the Russian army. Ukrainian officials are urging Crimea residents not to comply and surrender at the first opportunity

Also, the Russians built a bridge from the Russian mainland to the Crimean Peninsula. Earlier in the week, somebody decided to test out the smoke screen machinery which is intended to prevent the bridge from being attacked. But nobody thought to mention it to people driving on the bridge. It went over about as well as could be expected:

Due to military exercises near the Crimean bridge, cars got into an accident

During the exercises to protect the #Crimean bridge, the soldiers of the #Russian army used smoke screens.

As a result, visibility on the bridge deteriorated, which led to a collision of cars. pic.twitter.com/EKazXNy6sU
