Defense forces attacked the oil depot in Theodosius: Does this mean the beginning of preparation for Crimea's de -occupation

The Armed Forces attacked the largest oil terminal in the Crimea. The experts interviewed by focus have been divided into reasons about the causes of the attack, but believe that the consequences for the occupiers will be significant. On the night of October 6 to 7, Ukrainian military attacked the marine oil terminal in the temporarily occupied Feodosius in Crimea.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces noted that under the blow was the largest terminal in terms of transshipment of petroleum products on the peninsula, his enemy used to meet the needs of the army. The director of the network of new geopolitical research, Mikhail Samus, noted that there are troops in the enemy in the temporarily occupied territories. In particular, there are combat, rear, logistics, etc. "Refiners apply especially if we talk about occupied Crimea.

It is actually an island that is annexed to Russia by an illegal bridge and an illegal terrestrial corridor. It is quite sensitive to the enemy's logistics, including the functioning of the combat component Air Force, aviation, etc. , ”the focus expert explained. He said that this component requires petroleum products. While it is obvious that the defense forces destroy these opportunities and reduce the combat capacity of the occupation group on the peninsula.

According to the military-political observer Igor Levchenko, a blow to the oil depot is a continuation of a certain strategy for the destruction of the enemy oil. "Such blows are aimed at creating a fuel deficit in general in that European part. If we talk about, for example, about Crimea, in some way it can influence the provision of a navy ship, that is, a diesel, to limit the capabilities of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation," said focus Levchenko.

According to the entertainment, the strikes should influence more of the Russians from the trade in oil and petroleum products through the creation of internal deficits. "That is, that they (the Russians, ed. ) Want resources that want to sell for export, get money and spend them for war against Ukraine, were sent to the domestic market," he added. Michael Samus believes that the impact on the petroleum deed is one in the preparation of the peninsula.

"This is preparation for the de -occupation of Crimea. Therefore, we are not interested in what the Russians will do, we are interested in what Ukraine will do. Ukraine will take measures for the de -occupation Occupied Crimea. According to him, the oil depot in Feodosia is important for the Russians, and therefore is attacked by the Ukrainian military. He stressed that all the blows in the Crimea are carried out in order to prepare a de -occupation operation.

Military expert Pavel Narozhny disagrees with such opinion and noted that before the de -occupation of Crimea for a very long time. In particular, you must first release the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions. Igor Levchenko also believes that this blow to the oil depot is not a preparation for the release of Crimea. "If it was a blow to the Crimean bridge, then so. And what is on the oil depot," he said.

We will remind, on October 7 at Defense Express reported that after a night attack on Crimea, the enemy remained without an important object, which is needed to provide fuel with a military group. In particular, the impact on the petroleum deed will complicate the logistics of the Russians. On October 4, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that in the arbitration tribunal in the Hague Ukraine requires the obligation of the Russian Federation to demolish the Crimean bridge.
