Hmmm, Russia pivoting away from Crimea? Equipment depletion, or reorientation because Ukraine is finally shooting at targets inside Russia? Or just giving up because they got whole bunch of air defense systems blown up by ATACAMS in one day, without doing anything useful against the incoming missiles?

Huge civilian traffic on Crimean bridge while they transfer their arms through it, just using the people evacuating as human shields

That sounds far more evil, and thus far more likely.

Yeah, my bet is that they’ll start a huge resupply operation using the rail lines, and intentionally slow the civilian evacuation traffic on the bridge (perhaps using both sides of the road) to a crawl, thus using their own citizens as human shields.
