Commander of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces Robert "Madyar" Brovdi has shared his "recipe" for dealing with Russian-occupied Crimea.
"Moscow and the old man in the bunker will cling to Crimea until the very end as the main trophy of this war, even if it becomes an 'island.' Of course — it’s a pillar of their ideology of greatness and comes with plenty of perks, like turning the Sea of Azov into an 'internal Russian body of water,' and so on," Madyar said.
According to him, however, using Crimea as a staging ground for attacks on Ukraine has already become "a military absurdity."
"Then comes the borscht recipe from the Freedom-Loving Ukrainian Bird: total destruction of air defenses, punching holes in what remains of the fleet, stopping the shadow fleet, TOTAL depletion of resources and logistics, tourism default, an energy desert, transportation lockdown, and so on," Madyar wrote.
He stressed that Ukrainians are already operating on the occupied territory. As a result of the Defense Forces' actions, bridges and roads in Crimea are being closed, while darkness, noise, and stress have become part of daily life.
"Stay away from military facilities and anything flammable, keep sharing the memes, and simply stay safe. The Bird works with precision, but when you chop down a forest, wood chips are bound to fly. Crimea will bring Moscow down. It is the psychological breaking point — the hidden needle of Koschei is right under our noses. Every dictatorship collapses suddenly; just look at history," the commander added.
Strikes on Crimea
As reported earlier, overnight Ukraine's Defense Forces carried out strikes on several key targets near the Crimean Bridge and across occupied Crimea.
The attacks targeted Russian military logistics, oil infrastructure, and air defense facilities located roughly 300 kilometers from the front line.
Targets on both sides of the Crimean Bridge were hit, including maritime oil transport infrastructure in Russia’s Krasnodar region and an oil depot in occupied Kerch.
Ukrainian forces also successfully struck Russian military logistics facilities, four radar stations that are part of S-400 air defense systems, and two Pantsir air defense systems.
