Earlier,Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Ukraine’s ambassador to the United Kingdom and former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, stated that the Ukrainian military had developed a plan for the remote isolation of the temporarily occupied Crimea as early as 2023. However, at that time, Western partners did not believe in its effectiveness.

<span><span><span><span><span><span>He noted that Russia was able to achieve only one strategic goal—creating a land corridor to Crimea. At the same time, he said, the occupiers can no longer use it effectively due to the development of Ukrainian technologies and long-range strikes.</span></span></span></span></span></span>

<span><span><span><span><span><span>Zaluzhny also stated that the war has already entered a new phase in which technology plays a decisive role. In his view, future wars will be fought using robotic systems, drones, and artificial intelligence.</span></span></span></span></span></span>

Earlier, the “Freedom of Russia” Legion released close-range reconnaissance footage of the bridge across the Kerch Strait. This demonstrated that Russian propaganda’s claims of “complete control” over the region are a myth.
