Estonian intelligence notes that the strike not only reached military purpose, but also somewhat distracted the attention of the Russian media from the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Far Eastern Economic Forum and his meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
— It is noteworthy that, through asymmetrical actions, Ukraine managed to deprive Russia of maritime dominance along almost the entire western coast of Crimea and push the Russians into the eastern waters of the Black Sea, — intelligence officials note.
Estonian Defense Forces suggest that after the latest attack, the Russians are likely to relocate ships from Sevastopol to Novorossiysk, which will further reduce the role of the city in occupied Crimea in supporting maritime operations.< /p>
As for the situation at the front, the report indicates that Ukraine continues to systematically clear the fortified positions of the Russians in the Orekhovsky direction in the Zaporozhye region near the recently liberated village of Robotino.
