Ukraine's Intelligence Chief, Kyrylo Budanov, has announced that the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) and the GUR are preparing for a serious military operation in the occupied Crimea. This operation is seen as a response to the sentiments of abandonment felt by many in Crimea, according to Budanov. The preparatory actions include military reconnaissance missions in the Black Sea, aimed at testing the routes of approach and escape. Budanov's statements highlight the strategic importance of Crimea in the ongoing conflict and signal a potential escalation in the region.
