Refat Chubarov, head of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people, shared the information on Espreso TV.“Crimea has long been turned by the Russian occupiers into a stronghold from which they constantly attack mainland Ukraine. Today, there are enough Russian military bases in Crimea, and all of them are targets for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In particular, there are 250 Russian military facilities on the territory of occupied Crimea,” Chubarov said.According to him, the strike by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on a Russian border post in the village of Voloshyne near Armyansk did not go unnoticed in Crimea itself.“Recently, Crimeans indeed witnessed Ukrainian Flamingo missiles striking Russian military facilities located in the steppe areas of Crimea, specifically the village of Voloshyne near Armyansk. These strikes did not go unnoticed, as there is a lot of information suggesting this was a test of the new Flamingo missile. I can confirm that we have already received several indirect reports from Crimeans hoping that the Flamingo missiles will soon be fired at the Kerch Bridge. In other words, some people in Crimea who remain loyal to Ukraine have experienced a boost of expectation from the Ukrainian Armed Forces,” he added.On Monday, September 1, Ukrainian fighters launched a drone strike on a Russian airbase in the temporarily annexed Crimea, hitting two Mi-8 helicopters and a vessel.On September 6, Serhii Bratchuk, the spokesperson of the Ukrainian Volunteer Army, stated that Ukraine's Defense Forces continue to strike Russian military targets in Crimea, wearing down Russia's air defense.
