Authorities in Russian-controlled Crimea Friday declared a regional emergency as Ukrainian drone attacks on the peninsula intensified, prompting widespread disruption and power outages. The declaration followed what appeared to be one of Ukraine’s largest drone attacks on Russian territory and Moscow-administered Crimea since the start of Moscow’s full-scale invasion more than four years ago. According to Russia’s defence ministry, air defences intercepted 660 Ukrainian drones overnight across 12 Russian regions, the Crimean peninsula, the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. The previous largest reported attack over the past year involved 556 drones on May 17.Ukraine’s Security Service claimed responsibility for strikes on Russian naval vessels and air defence radar systems in Kerch, a strategically important port in Crimea. Do you think that Russia will strategically be defeated in this war ?
