Russian commander killed in Crimea: Expert explains complexity of operation

"Crimea has been out of Ukraine's control for more than 10 years...The counterintelligence regime there is very serious, with constant checks and surveillance on the roads. It is extremely difficult to get there. But the officers of the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) were able to reach Crimea," emphasized the expert.

He explained that he did not have information on who specifically carried out the special operation.

"Maybe there was someone inside, or maybe someone was sent, I don’t know. They were able to either bring explosives or make them from improvised materials and install a device for remote detonation. They watched him for at least a few weeks, I think, to figure out his schedule... They planned the exit route... Just think about how difficult it was to carry out, but they managed to do it," emphasized Stupak.

According to him, Ukrainian soldiers are now able to reach and destroy the enemy even in occupied territory.

"They can reach, they can blow up, they can eliminate. These are the best sanctions that the SSU imposes on traitors and war criminals," the expert concluded.
