Separately, he spoke about preparations for an attack on the Kerch Bridge.

Russian FSB, MIA, and Black Sea Fleet officials are leaving Crimea. Army General and former head of the Foreign Intelligence Service Mykola Malomuzh said this on Channel 24 .

Malomuzh explained that Ukraine is purposefully “cutting the arteries” between the mainland and Crimea. Recently, Special Operations Forces destroyed a railway bridge across the North Crimean Canal – one of the key supply routes for the occupation forces in the South.

“We are cutting off the arteries from the north, that is, from the mainland to the peninsula, and it is turning into an island. Especially today, the railway is the main hub that was used by the Russian armed forces to wage an aggressive war, provide Crimea with ammunition, fuel, for the operation of factories, airfields, and even to some extent ships. We have taken control of the sea in many sectors,” the general emphasized.

According to him, in the future, Ukraine plans to block all logistical corridors: Armyansk, Chongar, railways and ferry crossings. Without supplies, as Malomuzh noted, the enemy will have neither resources for defense nor the ability to maintain air defense and electronic warfare systems.

In his opinion, the escape of the security forces is no longer just an alarm signal, but a sign of preparation for the surrender of the peninsula. Some filed reports, others disappeared without them. The fleet withdrew to Novorossiysk.

The army general also drew attention to the statements of the occupation “leader” of Crimea, Aksyonov, who has already spoken about the possible introduction of a state of emergency on the peninsula.

“FSB officers are already fleeing the peninsula, and this is a sign that they are preparing to surrender Crimea. Most of the Interior Ministry employees who ensured the occupation regime have left. Representatives of the Black Sea Fleet have fled to Novorossiysk. These are the consequences of panic. It is primarily felt by those who know the situation deeply,” Malomuzh emphasized.

Separately, he spoke about preparations for an attack on the Kerch Bridge – involving naval drones, Ukrainian and foreign missiles (SAMP/T, SCALP). A simultaneous strike and special operation, according to the former head of the SVR, will allow the crossing to be destroyed.
