A couple of days ago, the aggressor-controlled “media” began to point to such a fairly typical phenomenon for the occupied Crimea as an outbreak of locusts; it was traditionally predicted that the pest would enter the peninsula from the Krasnodar Territory by air.
However, since in principle any “negative events” in the occupied Crimea “can’t take place” for the aggressor’s propaganda, on August 9 she spread a message from the “Russian agricultural center” that supposedly there would be no locusts in the Crimea, since “the Azov and Black Seas are a natural obstacle to the spread locusts”, and that the insect is practically unable to overcome such serious distances.
At the same time, probably, the authors of such clumsy “calming news” hope that the Crimean residents have forgotten July 2017, when locusts that arrived from the Caucasus captured more than a thousand hectares in three districts and the occupiers claimed that allegedly “the heat is now preventing the destruction of the pest.”
And then, in 2019, the “specialists” of the same “Russian agricultural center” stated that “for the first time, the Moroccan migratory locust was detected on the peninsula”. Mass arrivals of locusts from the Krasnodar Territory to the Crimea were noted even before the occupation, for example, in July 2011.
