Ukrainian aircrafts in Crimea’s skies: Strikes on ground targets

[Starmix]

According to the report, Crimea has not disappeared from the agenda. Today, attacks on Russian Federation targets in occupied Crimea are intensifying. This intensification is essentially part of the response to the so-called Russian summer offensive. Indeed, we are talking about the fact that today the Defense Forces of Ukraine continue very active operations in Crimea. These are ground, air, and naval operations. There is destruction of Russian Federation air defense facilities, destruction of naval targets, and strikes on ground targets, including railway infrastructure. After all, the Russian railway today remains a key logistical artery for the invading army,” Bratchuk said. The spokesperson of the Ukrainian Volunteer Army did not specify which long-range Ukrainian weapons are currently being routed for strikes in temporarily occupied Crimea. According to him, the phase of wearing down the enemy’s air defense on the peninsula has been ongoing for quite some time.“The Ukrainian Defense Forces are actively working against Russian military targets in Crimea. This activity also aims to exhaust the enemy’s air defense.

The report also said that recently, Ukraine's Special Operations Forces crippled Russian logistical facilities in Crimea. Throughout the full-scale war, Kyiv's forces have repeatedly targeted Russian military facilities and logistics in Crimea, a southern Ukrainian peninsula occupied by Russia since 2014. Recent weeks also saw Ukrainian forces step up drone attacks against railway infrastructure in Russian border regions, as well as oil facilities across Russia. Ukraine will not recognize Crimea as the territory of the Russian Federation. This has been stated many times by President Volodymyr Zelensky and other Ukrainian officials. At the same time, Ukraine is willing to essentially freeze this issue and commit to not even attempting a military takeover of the region. However, so far, Russia has rejected any attempts to establish a ceasefire and, therefore, the war continues, including on the Crimean peninsula.
