"This is the beginning of the end to the Russians in the Crimea," the US General of the Armed Forces counter -offensive

The General believes that Ukrainian troops can try to punch the defense of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on a narrow section of the Southern Front. After that, Ukraine's defenders can reach the Azov Sea, cut Russia's land corridor into the peninsula and begin its isolation. Hodges added that Ukrainian fighters can beat the important objects of Russian invaders in Crimea with Himars and other high -precision long -range weapons.

"This is the beginning for the Russians in the Crimea," the general said. According to him, if Ukraine is able to successfully implement this plan, then it will win in the war against the Russian Federation by the end of 2023. But a key condition for this is to supply the weapons you need to western partners.

On April 17, the Chief of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kirill Budanov stated in an interview with the NV that the de -occupation of all Ukrainian territories is graduated gradually, and the plans of Ukrainian defenders include Crimea. "We all go on a schedule. Let's see how events will develop in the near future.

Unfortunately, I can't answer your question: not because I don't know, but because it will be savvy if I do it now - I will reveal the idea to the Russians. It will be amazing. It will be fast, " - said the head of GUR MO. According to the US State Department Expreowner for Ukraine Kurt Volker, which he voiced on April 16 on the national telephone, Ukraine can begin to release the Crimean peninsula from the Russian invaders now. "Now it is necessary to isolate Crimea from Russia.

Perhaps to destroy the military base in Sevastopol. These steps will be extremely complicated by the use of Crimea as a military site and isolate it from Russian support. I think it can Full control over Crimea may take place after a while, "Volker said. The head of the Department of the Navy of the National University of Defense of Ukraine Stepan Yakimak on April 15 on the program "Public.

Resistance" expressed confidence that the Black Sea Fleet of Russia will leave the Crimean peninsula in the event of a counter -offensive of the Defense Forces of Ukraine. "Evacuation of oneself: all the fleet, ships, strength and means. And most importantly, it is an attempt to steal our property from the Crimea. Experience shows that we can remember the Second World War. So it happened," said Yakimak.

We will remind, on April 21 MP Alexander Kachura said that trenches are digging throughout the Crimea and are actively preparing for defense. The so -called Russian "leadership" and the military command gradually leave Crimea, but persuade ordinary citizens to stay on the ground.
