Ukrainian officials announced special forces units successfully conducted a surprise attack on Russia’s military in Crimea.
Ukraine said Wednesday that units of its special operations forces recently conducted a successful attack on Russian troops in Crimea.
Crimea is recognized as Ukrainian territory by many countries, despite Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion and annexation of the peninsula in 2014. The region has seen a dramatic increase in attacks on Russian positions in recent weeks, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly vowed to reclaim Crimea as part of his nation.
Andriy Yusov, a representative of Ukraine’s defense intelligence service, told the news outlet Ukrainska Pravda that the military units from his country involved in the Crimean operation suffered some losses.
