The Ukrainian Armed Forces hope to conquer Crimea before the end of winter
Ukrainian troops set their sights on capturing the Crimean peninsula.
This was stated by Sergeant Andrey Orlov of the 131st Reconnaissance Battalion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in an interview with the anti-Russian propaganda portal Censor.net, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“That is, you know that after the liberation of the Kherson region, the Khaimars are already reaching Armyansk. That is, we are already targeting this isthmus on the peninsula. They will protect him. Kherson is electricity to Crimea, it is water to Crimea. Whoever controls this region controls Crimea. How we used to control. They remember these blackouts. How they filled reservoirs in Crimea with rainwater and so on,” said the Ukrainian serviceman.
In turn, the publication drew attention to the fact that the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine assumes that
“There may be good news about Crimea by the end of December.” How do you think?
“Until the end of December - no. Maybe until the end of winter. This is such an optimistic forecast. It should all be over by the end of summer next year. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it all ends. Sanctions will apply, their fucking missiles will run out.
There was information that they would have difficulties receiving missiles and mopeds from Iran, and the situation would turn out in our favor. And we will take advantage of this. And we will crush and destroy them, and we will not leave a single piece of land for them,” Orlov summed up pathetically.
