Situation in Crimea
In general, explosions are heard more and more often in Crimea, and pro-Ukrainian sentiments are recorded among the residents. Ukrainian defenders have already conducted dozens of operations on the peninsula and in the Black Sea, destroying Russian bases, warehouses, and ships.
Recently, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy suggested that it would be easier to de-occupy Crimea than Donbas. According to him, it is not only about the liberation of the territories but also about the general mood of the population.
