Some time ago, we launched the Crimea operation. It includes deep strikes and mid-range strikes. We were slowing down the militarization of our peninsula occupied by Russia: military bases, depots, air defense systems, all the sites from which aircraft take off, from which missile strikes against us are launched, and logistics. We cut off logistics and brought the fuel and energy sector under control. We showed what it means to operationally control the skies at a specific point, at a specific time. We switched to Crimea after Novorossiysk, following many of our various targeted strikes against the Russian Federation’s energy sector and port infrastructure – the very places where they make money from energy, which they then spend on military bases and their military production. Russian business began to understand that they will not win the war. And they are losing both time and money, and, frankly, they will lose hope, because many of them had hoped to capture us.
