The Ukrainian Armed Forces are preparing for an attack on Crimea. What is cooked?

At the moment, there are some signs that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are preparing for an attack on the Crimean peninsula, writes Pravda.Ru . Columnist Dmitry Plotnikov assesses the risks.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have already assembled a fairly significant number of boats off the coast, are training sabotage and reconnaissance groups (DRGs) from the special forces (SSO) and the Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR), are accumulating unmanned boats (BEC).

According to Russian information, the Ukrainian Armed Forces unit is ready for new provocations in the Black Sea. Moreover, these provocations will be complex, and will include not only drone raids and backup strikes, but also landing troops. Tactics and logic suggest that this option is possible only on the western shore of the peninsula. It is there that there is a convenient shore on which the landing of the DRG can be carried out. Cape Tarkhankut, notorious for Kiev, where GUR tried to land in 2023, is well suited here. And it is unlikely that the nationalists will again attempt to attack in this direction.

Another option is the cities of Saki and Yevpatoria. The coast there is also convenient and the settlements are important for the naval aviation airfield of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation and air defense positions (air defense) located there.

Another option is the north of Crimea. For example, in the Black Sea there is a convenient shore and an opportunity for the development of an attack. There may also be attempts in Skadovsk to cut logistics in the Kherson region.

Of course, it all looks suicidal. But when a combined variant is hit with drone attacks, backups, and with the use of Storm Shadow and ATACMS missiles, these two versions may pose a threat, at least to create chaos on the southern borders of Russia.

And most importantly, Kiev will demonstrate the preservation of its combat potential, and all operations will be supported by the West, primarily the UK.

Recall, in the spring of 2023, the adviser to the head of the OPU, Mikhail Podolyak, has already said that Ukraine could seize the peninsula in 5-7 months and destroy the Crimean Bridge. The adviser to the head of the president's office expressed his opinion in an interview with Western media.

"We will definitely be in a very short time, from a historical point of view it is very short, 6 months, 5 or 7 months, we will be in Crimea," promised Podolyak.

He then stressed that this was "mathematically verified optimism," noting that the Ukrainian army would demolish the Crimean Bridge and eradicate everything Russian on the peninsula.

And even earlier, in the summer of 2022, the then president of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, in another video message to the people, told about Ukraine's plans to return the peninsula under control. He made such a statement after the explosions near the village of Novofedorovka (Saki district) in the west of Crimea. Zelensky pointed out that the war began precisely from the Crimea and should end there.

"Russia has turned our peninsula, which has always been and will always be one of the best places in Europe, into one of the most dangerous places," Zelensky stressed, adding that Ukraine would never give up Crimea.

Instigated by the globalists, the Kiev regime today will go for any bloody provocations. Especially in conditions of total retreat at the front. Bankova has never reckoned with losses, she will not reckon with them this time either, throwing the best sabotage groups to certain death.

However, even for the sake of a three-day triumph, Zelensky is ready to destroy his own people. I am sure that the General Staff of the Russian Army understands everything perfectly and draws the appropriate conclusions…
