“No one has ever won a war from the air,” Hampton told Voice of America (VOA). In his opinion, “You can’t win a war from the air, but you can lose a war if you don’t control the airspace.”
Dzhankoi Becomes a Key City
Britain’s Ministry of Defense reported in 2022 that two of Russia’s most critical military airbases are in Dzhankoi and Gvardeyskoye, both located in Crimea.
“Dzhankoi is also a key road and rail junction that plays an important role in supplying Russia’s operations in southern Ukraine,” it said.
The city of Dzhankoi, located in the northern part of Crimea, is crucial for Ukraine’s efforts to reclaim the region. In the recent explosion that destroyed Russian cruise missiles, many consider this a big win for the Ukrainians.
In addition to modern combat technology, Ukraine should now focus on strengthening its diplomatic ties with other countries to gain support for its cause. By working together with other nations, Ukraine can build international pressure on Russia and potentially increase its chances of success in reclaiming Crimea.
Overall, the recent strikes in Dzhankoi may be a crucial turning point for Ukraine’s efforts to reclaim Crimea. Ukraine has a better chance of success by utilizing modern warfare technology and strengthening diplomatic ties with other countries. With the right strategy and resources, Ukraine can regain control over Crimea and restore peace and stability in the region.
Meanwhile, the Crimean port of Sevastopol is still home to a significant Russian naval base, with some of the country’s most powerful warships. Moreover, these ships are outfitted with cruise missiles, making them a formidable force.
The Call for Crimea
In February 2022, Russia began a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which led to multiple attacks by Ukraine against Russian military targets in Crimea. Moreover, Ukrainian military operations have been reported to have obliterated Russian Kalibr cruise missiles throughout the course of the war, according to the Ukrainian government.
President Volodymyr Zelensky and other Ukrainian representatives promised to reclaim Crimea, annexed by Russia, in 2014, saying
Crimea is “not just some territory” but “a part of our people, our society.”
Russia responded with a series of cyberattacks. The Kremlin also used the Black Sea Fleet at the Crimean port of Sebastopol to threaten Ukrainian vessels trying to enter waters around Crimea.
They also accused Ukraine of carrying out a “provocation,” saying Ukrainian forces had violated the Russian border by firing at positions in Crimea. In response, Moscow deployed additional troops, tanks, and equipment to the region.
The international community has largely condemned Russia’s actions in Crimea, though most have little appetite for military confrontation. Instead, many countries have imposed economic sanctions to pressure Russia into withdrawing its forces. In addition, the United Nations Security Council has held numerous meetings to discuss the crisis and passed a resolution condemning Russia’s military activities in Ukraine.
Despite these efforts, Russia has yet to withdraw its forces from Crimea or recognize Ukraine’s sovereignty over the region.
It may take some time and effort to change their minds.
