Ukraine has no restrictions on destroying Russian military facilities in occupied Crimea.
Ukraine was behind at least three explosions in Russian-occupied Crimea – at the Saki air base, at the ammunition depot in Maisky and at the airport in Gvardeisky, CNN reports, citing a source who was not identified among the officials. of Ukrainian. According to the channel, the report describes the Saki airbase as a heavy but one-time loss to the military infrastructure of the Russian occupiers of Crimea, and the subsequent attacks as proof of the systematic potential of the Ukrainian military in delivering strikes on the occupied peninsula.
Officially, Ukrainian authorities have not confirmed involvement in the explosions. At the same time, in Ukraine they are increasingly talking about the Crimean bridge, built by the invaders, as the next goal.
There are no restrictions
Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said that Ukraine has no restrictions on the destruction of Russian military facilities in occupied Crimea. According to him, there is an agreement with the United States not to use weapons provided by the West for strikes against Russia. However, this agreement does not apply to territories occupied by Russia.
Reznikov also expressed hope that the United States will make a political decision to provide the Ukrainian Armed Forces with ATACMS missiles with a range of 300 kilometers. This is enough to reach the targets in all the occupied territories, as well as in the border regions of the Russian Federation.
Illegal construction
The adviser to the head of the Office of the President Mykhailo Podolyak said that Ukraine considers the Crimean bridge, which connects the occupied peninsula with Russia, as a legitimate military target.
In an interview with The Guardian, he called the bridge “illegal construction”.
“This is illegal construction and the main supply gate for the Russian army in Crimea. Such facilities should be destroyed,” said Podolyak.
Careful security
The Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, Alexei Danilov, reported that the Russian Federation is carefully guarding the Crimean bridge.
“They exercise almost every day. The amount of air defense they put up to protect this facility is just insane. This suggests that they are quite serious about the weapons that our troops have,” said Danilov.
The occupation authorities of the peninsula decided to close the bridge from the occupied peninsula to the Russian Federation until 6:00 am on August 17 for the passage of people. According to Ukrainian intelligence, the occupiers were spreading information that the bridge was about to be fired upon by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as it was closed for the safety of civilians.
