Ukrainian troops are gradually limiting the presence of Russian forces in Crimea and striking at key enemy targets, strengthening the defense of the southern front. Odesa and other areas of the South remain under constant attack, but Ukrainian forces are effectively repelling the attacks thanks to air defense, aviation and mobile fire groups.

This was reported by the spokesman for the Ukrainian Volunteer Army, Serhiy Bratchuk, on the air of the Voice of Crimea channel.

According to him, Ukrainian drones regularly fly over Crimea, attacking areas of the Kuban, Krasnodar Territory, Rostov Region and Stavropol that are important for Russian logistics. This allows them to limit the enemy's capabilities in the south and destroy its air defense systems, as well as strike at ground targets.

The liberation of the Crimean airspace allows us to influence the enemy's key supply routes, particularly in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions," Bratchuk noted.

He emphasized that Crimea is undergoing a stage of demilitarization, and civilians and the occupation administration must be prepared for further actions by Ukrainian forces.

The south of Ukraine, in particular Odesa, is in a zone of constant fighting. Russia-backed militants regularly attack the region with missiles and drones, including from the temporarily occupied Crimea. At the same time, the Ukrainian defense forces are effectively working to protect the southern coast, using a combination of air defense, aviation and mobile fire groups.

Brachuk noted that mobile fire groups remain an important element in countering enemy attacks. Although their capabilities are not unlimited, even the destruction of a single drone or missile can save civilian and military lives.

Strikes on enemy targets in Crimea and the Kuban remain strategically important, reducing the capacity of Russian logistics and air defense. At the same time, the Black Sea is both an advantage and a challenge: Odesa's ports are resuming operations, providing export and import corridors that strengthen Ukraine's economy and defense potential.

In early September, the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine continued strikes on air defense systems in the temporarily occupied Crimea. Among the equipment destroyed by the Prymara kamikaze drone was the RT-70 radio telescope near Vitino near Yevpatoria.
