Some of this must be a blend of panic and seeded disinformation - the Donetsk airport report in particular just doesn’t seem possible.
Yeah, I think there is a lot of disinfo going on to panic further the Russians to make bad moves.
Seems Ukrainian air defences are working
Seems to be this one:

It does say ‘extremely’ unconfirmed reports. Where does extremely take this statement, other than being completely useless.
Imagining that Ukraine continue to make territorial inroads, and with Ukraine expected to continue to their pre-2014 borders, is there appetite in Crimea for liberation and returning the territory to Ukraine?
It seems reading up on it that Crimea is really messy in terms of how they identify themselves. We can’t just look at ethnicity (which is majority Russian).

Protections through NATO for instance?
