Ukraine to continue operations in Crimea to degrade Russian logistics – Budanov
Ukraine will continue to conduct special operations in occupied Crimea to sabotage Russian logistics, Ukrainian Defense Intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov told the Financial Times on Jan. 19.
Budanov emphasized the need to keep pressure on Russia, particularly in Crimea, by attacking from the air, using naval strike drones, and conducting covert special operations.
The aim of such missions, Budanov added, is to disrupt Russian military logistics on the peninsula.
“Our units repeatedly entered Crimea [in 2023],” he said, before promising to continue audacious commando raids on the occupied peninsula.
Throughout the war, Ukraine has conducted several operations in Crimea, with many successful strikes, including on Russia’s Black Sea Fleet and the Kerch Bridge that connects the peninsula to mainland Russia.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
