Ukraine reveals 3 main missions to attack Crimea Peninsula
(Baonghean.vn) - Senior advisor to the President of Ukraine, Mr. Mykhailo Podolyak, said that the country is focusing on three main tasks to attack the Crimean Peninsula.
According to Senior Advisor to the President of Ukraine, Mr. Mykhailo Podolyak, Ukraine's strategy to regain control of the Crimean Peninsula includes three main tasks.
Kiev is targeting air defense systems to pave the way for more attacks on military infrastructure and Russian weapons warehouses.
Ukraine is also attacking its logistics system to “prevent the continuous large-scale supply of Russian resources and reserves” to the war zone, Mr. Podolyak said.
Also for the above purpose, transport logistics, including targets such as bridges in the Kerch Strait, are being destroyed.
“We need to expel the remnants of the Russian Black Sea Fleet from the territorial waters of Crimea and beyond, and restore the status of the Black Sea as a sea with jurisdiction,” said Mykhailo Podolyak.
Since October 2022, the Crimean Bridge has been repeatedly attacked by car bombs, drones and unmanned boats. Ukrainian authorities have recently claimed responsibility.
During the counter-offensive, Ukraine began to shift its focus to attacking Crimea, after Russia announced its withdrawal from the Black Sea Grain Agreement - which had created a safe corridor for grain ships to enter and exit Ukrainian ports during the conflict. Along with that, warships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet also increased the frequency of operations, attacking Ukrainian port infrastructure.
Most recently, on September 13, the Russian Defense Ministry confirmed that Ukraine attacked the Sevastopol shipyard in Crimea with 10 cruise missiles and 3 speedboats. According to the Ministry, Russian air defense forces shot down 7 cruise missiles, while Russian patrol boats destroyed all of Ukraine's speedboats.
