The head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense Kyrylo Budanov said that Ukrainian sabotage raids in the Black Sea are preparations for a "serious operation" in Crimea. He said this in the documentary "War for the Sea: From Dnipro to Crimea".
According to him, the operations in the Black Sea are a test of "the correctness of the statements about the ways of approaching and leaving from there."
He noted that this is a "good message" for the residents of the peninsula who have been living under occupation for 10 years.
"Many believe that they have been forgotten," Budanov said.
