Capturing Russia’s Crimean peninsula and withdrawing its army into the Kerch Strait is Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ‘s key strategic objective. This was stated by British Army Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Crawford in an article for Express.
“Crimea is a common strategic prize, a key territory, if you will because control of Crimea implies control of the Black Sea and the entrance to the Sea of Azov through the Kerch Strait,” said the army.
It is Crimea that should become the final objective of the Ukrainian government in the current conflict.
As the OSN reported earlier , the head of the Crimean parliament, Vladimir Konstantinov, expressed the view that Ukraine should be deprived of access to the Black Sea, as this would give security guarantees to Crimea and the new regions of Russia. Among the plans expressed for a special military operation, denazification and demilitarization are distinguished.
