Ukraine, in threatening music video, warns 'unpleasantly hot summer break' if Russia doesn't leave Crimea
The Ukrainian government warns that Russia could suffer a 'cruel summer'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense posted a threatening message Thursday morning in the form of an unusual music video in which they warned Russia to get out of Crimea or pay the price.
Set to "Cruel Summer," the 1983 hit by Bananarama, the video says that Russians should have visited somewhere else for their summer vacation, and they better leave soon.
"You had a few options this summer," the video begins, suggesting Dubai's Palm Jumeira beaches, resorts in Antalya, Turkey, or Cuba. "You chose Crimea," it continues. "Big mistake."

The video post comes after one top Ukrainian official said Ukraine wants to use "maximum measures to end the active part of the war" before winter, because Russia is attacking their infrastructure.
