Putin orders to 'reduce to zero' consequences of Ukrainian strikes on Crimea
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin instructed his government and Ministry of Defense to take measures to nullify the consequences of Ukrainian Armed Forces attacks on infrastructure in occupied Crimea.
At an operational meeting with government members, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Ministry of Defense and other security agencies, as well as the government, to take additional steps to “reduce to zero” the consequences of Ukrainian Armed Forces strikes. This was reported by Russian state agencies TASS and RIA Novosti.
According to Putin, Ukraine is trying to affect the tourist season in the temporarily occupied Crimea and create problems with energy supplies.
Earlier, Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov predicted that the occupied peninsula would soon be isolated due to Ukrainian drone strikes.
Meanwhile, a unit of the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces, “Middle Strike,” in cooperation with resistance movement underground members, destroyed a railway bridge over the North Crimean Canal near the village of Rozdolne in occupied Crimea.
In Russia and the occupied territories, a fuel crisis is escalating amid ongoing Ukrainian strikes on oil refineries.
