The DIU announced surprises in Crimea
At the end of February, the head of the DIU of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kyrylo Budanov emphasized that his team owes its success in Crimea to the inhabitants of the peninsula.
According to him, the Crimeans not only strengthened their resistance to the Russian invaders, but also find an opportunity to monitor the entire operational situation on the peninsula and transmit this information to Ukraine as soon as possible.
We promised that Ukrainian special forces would be in Crimea in 2023, and we fulfilled this promise. New surprises await the enemies, and I would not recommend the civilian population to use the so-called "Crimean" bridge, — said Kyrylo Budanov.
