Zelenskyy Is Going To Retake Crimea Without A Land Invasion
When Russia seized Crimea, in the aftermath, Putin gave sweetheart deals for Russians to move there, Putin guaranteed their safety, guaranteed to protect them. 800,000 Russians moved into Crimea.
All of the protection is gone. Ukraine has blown up bridges that are used to get supplies in and out of Crimea. The ships at the ports are gone. The airspace over Crimea is controlled by Ukraine. Gas and oil facilities have been bombed by Ukraine, the people can't buy gasoline.
Putin is moving air defense systems out of southern and Eastern Ukraine to shore up air defense of Moscow, leaving the Russian troops much less protected.
Now the most recent news, 1,500 cars were in a huge traffic jam waiting to get the hell out, the Russians are self-deporting.
Zelenskyy has this modern warfare thing down to a science.

An intelligent man that has gone to great lengths to defend and protect his all people. He has actually had boots on the ground, not cowering in fear beneath a golden ballroom.
He is a brilliant tactician along with those advising him. No one ever thought things would end this way. They are indeed the mouse that roared.
Slava Ukraini may you soon be in a place that you can rebuild yor beautiful country.
You are all your sunflower such a powerful symbol of Ukrainian national identity, representing peace, resilience, unity, and hope.
I'm sure some of them left but it wouldn't have made sense for all of them to leave. They've waited over 12 years for the Russians to finally GTFO.
I don't know that they have the military strength to fight against the Russian invaders, or they would have been wiped out early. I believe Crimea was mainly a vacation & tourist area for Ukraine, not a strategic industrial target. The main livelihoods are fishing and farming in Crimea.
It's the Russians who stole Crimea for its strategic access to the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.
@ZelenskyyUa
Our long-range operations are consistent, precise responses to Russia dragging out the war and attacking Ukrainian cities and communities.
Last night, Defense Forces units struck the Poltavska oil depot in the Krasnodar region. The target was approximately 300 kilometers from the front line. This morning, the Security Service of Ukraine hit two oil refineries in Ufa – Bashneft-Ufaneftekhim and Bashneft-Novoil. That’s 1,500 kilometers from the front line.
We are implementing our long-range sanctions plan. I thank all Ukrainian warriors who ensure our precision. The Russians should be thinking about real diplomacy instead of once again trying to trick others or buy time. The war must be brought to an end.
