What is the situation in the occupied Dzhankoi
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, the occupiers have turned Jankoy in Crimea into a logistics centre and a military base.
Thus, in April, partisans found a warehouse of the Russian army in the occupied Dzhankoi. The invaders placed it next to civilian infrastructure. The partisans also recorded the transfer of heavy equipment of the Russian Federation from Azov to Dzhankoi. The occupiers sent her in the direction of Kherson.
In addition, the Russian military installed a powerful air defence system hub in Dzhankoi. According to the partisans, anti-aircraft missile systems, which are not disguised in any way, are additionally located at the Dzhankoya airfield.
