From a military point of view, it is much easier to recapture Crimea than Donbas - Budanov
Kyiv • UNN
The head of the Defense Intelligence believes that it will be easier to regain Crimea through the Crimean Bridge and the Perekop Isthmus. Budanov refutes the myth of the peninsula's impregnability, recalling its conquest in the past.
The head of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, believes that it will be easier to recapture Crimea than Donbas because of two key entry points: The Crimean Bridge and the Perekop Isthmus, UNN reports citing Forbes.
From a military point of view, it is much easier to recapture Crimea than Donbas, which has more than 1,000 kilometers of frontline and a depth of more than 200 kilometers. There are two entry points to Crimea - from the Russian side and from ours: The Crimean bridge and the land isthmus. The issue of recapture is our frontline operations: from the Russian side - by destroying communications, from our side - by pressure. And then that's it - Crimea is isolated
He notes that Russians have a favorite myth about the "impregnability of Crimea". However, history shows that Crimea has been conquered in many conflicts. The states that sought to seize the peninsula usually achieved their goal.
The main problem has always been the inability to hold the Perekop Isthmus, which led to the rapid disintegration of the defense.
"When I say that we will enter Crimea, we are already there," he added.

The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, Kirill Budanov, said that work on preparations for the destruction of the Kerch bridge is ongoing.
