Situation in Crimea
Russian occupiers are using Crimea, which they have held under military occupation, for their strategic purposes. Through the peninsula, they deploy weaponry and live forces to the frontlines.
However, recently, the situation has become perilous for the occupiers in Crimea. Military bases, depots, airfields, and even bays where enemy ships are stationed have been targeted by defense forces. A notable example is the strike by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol.
Indeed, a short time ago, the Pavel Derzhavin ship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet was damaged due to an explosion near Sevastopol.
