In the near future, we will isolate Crimea — "Madyar"

The commander of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces, Robert "Magyar" Brovdi, told Reuters that Crimea will be isolated in the near future, UNN reports.

Brovdi stated that as a result of the campaign over the past month, the intensity of traffic on the Novorossiysk highway — the most important supply route for Russian troops through occupied southern Ukraine to Crimea — has decreased by more than two-thirds.

According to "Magyar," in a month's time, Ukraine will gain full control over this road.

"In the near future, we will isolate Crimea," Brovdi told Reuters in his cramped cubicle inside a bunker, sipping black tea and smoking one cigarette after another.

Addendum

Brovdi described the task of striking vehicles on the open highway as "as simple a matter as hunting partridges in an open field."

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin acknowledged last week that Ukrainian drone strikes are causing damage but do not threaten the Russian economy.

Military analysts say Ukraine's campaign of medium-range strikes on Russian-controlled territory has reduced supplies to the front line — virtually halting the offensive last month — and weakened its air defenses, clearing the way for longer-range strikes that have destroyed oil infrastructure and production.

Brovdi stated that one of his strategic goals is to force Moscow to withdraw troops rather than advance them.

"We will create conditions that will make it extremely difficult for any serviceman or defense industry worker to remain in Crimea, in the temporarily occupied territories, or to use the access routes to them."

The escalation of Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian-occupied parts of the country has disrupted military logistics and fuel supplies, prompting authorities to introduce fuel rationing in Crimea last month.
