Budanov told why Serpentine is important for Ukraine
Kirill Budanov recalled that infidels in the South tried to hold a pseudo-referendum, and after that they have a stupid dream of “attaching” the Kherson region to Russia without a quasi-referendum based on the alleged appeal of the citizens of the Kherson region to Moscow.
Added that the Russians have no limit idiocy, but it does not matter, because Ukraine will liberate all its territories. At the same time, Kirill Budanov commented on the significance of Zmeiny Island.
Firstly, for Russia, as well as for Ukraine, Zmeiny Island is a strategically important point. It gives control of absolutely all trade routes going through the territory of Ukraine, – Budanov appeared.
He also added that in fact it is control of the entire surface and, to a certain extent, air situation in the south of Ukraine. In addition:
- this is a strategically important point, if we talk about the possibility of a tactical amphibious landing for Russia;
- theoretically, this is the only region through which Russian infidels can try to blow up a tactical airborne assault on the territory of the occupied Transnistria in Moldova. bloquote cke-markup”> Whoever controls the island can at any time block the movement of civilian ships in all directions to the south of Ukraine,” Budanov explained.
The head of Ukrainian intelligence said that everything was done by Russia with one goal – to collapse our economy, prevent the opening of maritime transport, and prevent Ukraine from transporting military cargo by sea. Kirill Budanov also refuted the words of some experts about the alleged “unimportance” of the island.
“Firstly, the Snake Island is the territory of Ukraine, and we will de-occupy it and fight for it as long as we need. Firstly, secondly, this is a strategically important point to open trade sea routes, deliver weapons to us, and also exclude any possible military actions of Russia on the territory of the PMR, from which they can attack the western part of Ukraine, – explained the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense.
Kirill Budanov also added that the enemy is not doing well in the Donbass. Moreover, this is impossible in the near future, despite the attempts of the Russian occupiers.
