Recall
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine's operation regarding Crimea is clearly calculated and is intended to prevent Russia from turning the occupation into an indefinite one.
Earlier, the military, using Ukrainian-made middle-strike UAVs, had already struck key Crimean bridges near Chongar and Armyansk. The strikes were carried out using FP-2 and "Begemot" drones. The bridge connecting the Kherson region with Crimea in Chongar was hit twice – on the night of June 6-7, and on the night of June 9.
Additionally, on June 8, the bridge leading from Henichesk to the Arabat Spit came under attack. Two more bridges across the North Crimean Canal – near the settlements of Preobrazhenka and Myrne near Armyansk – were attacked on June 11.
Furthermore, on the night of June 13, the "Dzhankoi" checkpoint, a railway bridge, and a pontoon crossing were struck. In the video recordings of the strikes, shown by the 1st Separate Assault Regiment named after Dmytro Kotsiubailo, instead of a traditional sight, there is a green heart, characteristic of attack drones produced by the company Fire Point.
On the night of June 22, a railway bridge across the North Crimean Canal was destroyed. The series of strikes on bridges and logistics routes connecting the temporarily occupied Crimea with the mainland part of Ukraine became another stage of the Ukrainian strategy to isolate the Russian group in the south.
