This was reported by CNN with reference to unnamed sources in the Ministry of Defense and the US Presidential Administration Joe Biden. Some officials from the US Defense Ministry and the Presidential Administration believe that the strikes in the Crimea are at best distracting attention, and in the worst, a waste of valuable resources in the strategy of Ukraine, which, according to many, has been overly stretching on the front line.
"This makes a certain imbalance in Russian troops, but nothing declies. In the last few weeks, Ukraine has begun to strike long -range missiles on two bridges, which connect Crimea with another occupied territory in the south of Ukraine. Currently, according to some US representatives, a third of the Crimea is in the reach of HIMARS, so Ukraine also strikes Russian warehouses with ammunition and logistics routes.
"There is more and more pressure in Crimea, and in recent weeks, I say: they are bombed," the US representative explained. Crimea, in addition to the symbolic significance for Russian President Vladimir Putin, is also used as a strategic logistics hub for Russian troops.
Representatives of Ukraine, who refer to journalists, called explosions in the Crimea part of the counter -offensive strategy, designed to isolate Crimea and complicate the support of Russian military operations in the rest of Ukraine. It should be reminded that, according to GUR for August 18, 3-5 Russian soldiers are captured daily. It was also reported that the Armed Forces Stormboard told about Bakhmut fighting.
