As we wrote earlier, on August 6, Crimean gauleiter Sergei Aksyonov announced the “resignation of his own accord” of the occupiers’ so-called “Minister of transport”, Nikolai Lukashenko, with ritual statements that allegedly “the decision was made as part of a planned rotation of personnel”; later, in his place, “to perform duties”, Lyudmila Oleynik was “appointed”, who before the occupation had worked for twenty years in the tax authorities, and since 2015 was placed by the occupiers in the same “Ministry of transport” on “financial issues”.
“Hot on the heels” of Lukashenko’s “resignation”, we wrote that, unlike the previous “ministerial resignations” of this summer, the current “circulation of substances” regarding Lukashenko did not have any announced reasons. However, on August 14, during another stream of consciousness, in the now fashionable style for the aggressor about the “inadmissibility of lying about the progress of certain processes, about the results of work” Aksyonov let it slip that “the road grading schedule … was disrupted, the process of roads registering has not been completed”, adding that “we will not create a ministry of unnecessary people”.
Let us recall, that the Crimean “authorities” have been trying to conduct a grading campaign since 2023, and its motive is, naturally, not the desire to “help the population”, but the demands of the aggressor’s military.
Over the course of two years of large-scale war, local roads on the peninsula in the areas where the occupiers’ groups are deployed, destroyed by military equipment, have become completely unusable, and Russian generals are now demanding that the “Crimean government” “restore order”.
In April, it was the situation with grading in the Yevpatoria and Saky area that led to a tragicomic “reprimand” from Aksyonov to the same “minister” Lukashenko and to the alleged “dismissal” of a certain nameless “chief of the Yevpatoria branch” of “Krymavtodor”, who later turned out to be non-existent: the occupiers simply did not have such a “position”.
At that time, we wrote about the gossip of the Crimean “transport workers” that the most likely reason for that ostentatious “punitive fit” of Aksyonov was the dissatisfaction with the structures of the “Ministry of transport” expressed to him personally by the army of the occupiers, demanding maximum “access support” to their places of deployment in Western Crimea.
Now, obviously, these military personnel have received their “sacred sacrifice” in the form of “Lukashenko’s head”.
