The Crimean peninsula, a key area controlled by Russia, has recently become the focus of Ukraine's military strategy. In particular, the port of Feodosia, an important port city, has recently been attacked by drones released by the Ukrainian army, resulting in a strong **. This event marked a new development in Ukraine's military operation on the Crimean peninsula.
After that, the port of Feodosia was forced to blockade, and although the fire was brought under control, the effects were still evident. This attack, which is undoubtedly an act of Ukraine, shows their determination to continue to pay attention to the Crimean peninsula and strike militarily.
This series of actions of the Ukrainian army is not limited to the military base in Sevastopol, but also includes strikes on the air base in the central part of the country, as well as on the associated port adjacent to the Kerch Bridge. These actions reflect Ukraine's tactical need in the current military conflict, namely various military strikes on the Crimean peninsula.
In the current Russia-Ukraine military conflict, the frontline battlefield seems to have entered a relatively static phase. Especially after Maryinka was taken over by Russian troops, it was difficult for the Ukrainian army to make a breakthrough on the frontal battlefield. As a result, the Ukrainian army has turned to flanking tactics, using drones, unmanned boats, and cruise missiles to carry out indirect strikes on Russian targets on the Crimean peninsula.
These actions, although indirect, caused actual harassment and destruction of Russian military bases and ports, which in turn affected the social order of the Crimean peninsula. This tactic of the Ukrainian army, although it cannot achieve a significant victory on the frontal battlefield, can create considerable problems for the Russian army on the flank battlefield.
This guerrilla warfare method of the Ukrainian army, although it will not directly change the overall pattern of the battlefield, can weaken Russia's military superiority to a certain extent. This low-cost long-range strike method allows Ukraine to inflict some damage on the Russian army on the battlefield, and at the same time provides support for the Ukrainian army to maintain morale on the battlefield.
Against the complex background of the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict, Ukraine's military strike on the Crimean peninsula is of great strategic importance. These attacks are not only a tactical adaptation of Ukraine, but also a way to put pressure on Russia on a psychological and political level. With the strike on Crimea, Ukraine aims to break the freeze on the front line and at the same time demonstrate to the international community its determination to resist Russian aggression.
This indirect strike adopted by the Ukrainian army demonstrates its flexibility in a complex battlefield environment. Due to the enormous challenge of confronting Russian forces directly on the front lines, Ukraine has turned to drones and other low-cost** strikes against Russian military and infrastructure targets in Crimea. This tactic both reduces the direct losses of the Ukrainian army and creates constant military and psychological pressure on Russia.
In addition, these Ukrainian military operations on the Crimean peninsula are of great political importance. With sustained strikes on Russian-controlled areas, Ukraine has demonstrated to its Western allies its ability and determination to resist Russian aggression. This will not only help boost Ukraine's position in the international arena, but also potentially attract more Western support and assistance.
However, these actions of the Ukrainian army also add to the complexity and inadmissibility of regional conflicts. Despite the fact that the large-scale ** has disappeared, the conflict between Ukraine and Russia continues. These indirect strikes by Ukraine could further exacerbate the conflict by prompting a more drastic military response from Russia.
Against this backdrop, the international community's attitude and response to the Russia-Ukraine conflict has also become a key factor. The support of Western countries is crucial for Ukraine, and Russia is trying to weaken this support by various means. Ukraine's military operation on the Crimean peninsula is not only part of its conflict with Russia, but also a strategic game it is engaged in in the broader international political arena.
