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.

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>

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.
