A series of unexpected operations by the Main Intelligence Directorate is aimed at continuing “psychological pressure” on the occupiers, as well as increasing the level of training of fighters for the upcoming de-occupation of the peninsula.
According to Lyuty, special forces will continue to work in this direction until the liberation of Crimea.
– Crimea is a key location for the Russian military and a primary target. Special forces operations in Crimea will continue,” the soldier emphasized.

Lyuty also shared some details of the raids into occupied Crimea, which took place on August 24 and October 3, 2023.
A fighter on a small boat, together with his brothers-in-arms, covered the landing strike group. Located 500-1000 m from the western coast of Crimea, soldiers armed with Stinger MANPADS were expecting possible helicopter attacks by the invaders.
During the operation on August 24, special forces on watercraft landed on the peninsula near the settlements of Olenevka and Mayak and planted the national flag of Ukraine. Then about 30 Russians were killed and four Russian boats were damaged.
