Ukrainian GUR says it carried out a special operation – an amphibious landing, in the Tarkhankut peninsula of Crimea, where it destroyed several occupiers, as well as the S-400 air defence system. Russian officials tried to say the boats were destroyed, but independent sources are saying they all managed to get away.
Excellent! I don’t want to speculate here about the long term consequences of this raid (no need to alert stupid Russian generals), but it’s obvious now that Russia ain’t able to safeguard vital territories, neither the region Belgorod nor Crimea. The inner weakness of that paper giant becomes obvious. And that’s a good sign for the long term chances of the ukrainian army, which has be become stronger since last year, to prevail. Slava Ukraini!
