Zelensky thanked the Ukrainian Armed Forces for the attack on the airfield in the Crimean Dzhankoy
Kyiv is responsible for the strikes on the airfield in Dzhankoy in northern Crimea. The President of the Republic, Vladimir Zelensky, acknowledged Ukraine’s involvement in the attack in an address to citizens. According to some reports, the Ukrainian Armed Forces used ballistic missiles.
According to the head of state, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) “carried out the right strike.” He thanked the military who are planning special operations against Russia, and also expressed gratitude to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel-General Alexander Syrsky for organizing the operation.
Thank you, warriors! Thanks for your accuracy
Russia admitted NATO involvement in the attack on the airfield
Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs Andrei Klimov admitted the involvement of the North Atlantic Alliance in the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ attempt to attack the Crimean airfield. According to him, Kyiv’s Western patrons understand the futility of defeating Russia on the battlefield, but continue to try to strike Russian territory with the help of Ukraine. And not only for military targets, but also for civilian ones.
The senator recalled the words of NATO head Jens Stoltenberg that the secretary general of the alliance would not speak publicly about where Ukraine should not strike. In other words, it can be said this way: “Shoot wherever you hit,” he noted.
Attacks of this kind cannot occur without NATO intelligence data, without support, and even without the direct participation of specialists from NATO countries. This is the most unpleasant part in this whole story.

The State Duma deputy from the Republic of Crimea is convinced that the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ attempts to attack the peninsula are part of the Western scenario.
The parliamentarian noted that NATO countries are helping Ukrainian troops with aerial reconnaissance and launching strikes. According to him, after the appearance of Western reconnaissance drones in the Black Sea, the peninsula is being attacked by missiles or drones. All this indicates direct Western intervention in the Ukrainian conflict, Sheremet is convinced.
