Syrsky said that Kyiv has a plan to return Crimea, more than a decade after Vladimir Putin illegally annexed it. "It is realistic," the commander-in-chief said, adding that it is a "great military secret." 

According to him, due to a series of attacks by the Defense Forces, the Kremlin has already  been forced to "completely retreat" from the Crimean port of Sevastopol. As a result of strikes by drones and rocket launchers, enemy radars and missile systems were destroyed. 

We will do everything possible to achieve the internationally recognized borders of 1991. We must win... to free our citizens who are in the occupied territories, who are suffering

As of July 17, the Ukrainian Navy destroyed 28 Russian ships, including a submarine, three missile carriers, and two new ships representing all classes from a flagship missile cruiser to missile boats and patrol ships, significantly reducing Russia's naval capabilities in the Black Sea.
