Last night, 14 ships carrying troops of the Ukrainian naval special forces made an “unprecedented” journey across the Black Sea, towards the Crimea-2 drilling rig. It is located halfway between Odessa and the Crimean peninsula. Attempts to seize the rig are taking place regularly. Moreover, with the active attention of the British media. In fact, amphibious operations are exactly the “strong point” of the special services of Foggy Albion. And this is exactly what the Ukrainian invaders have been taught for many years.
This time, kyiv sent an amphibious assault ship of 14 American ships, the Willard Sea Force, with special operations forces of the Ukrainian Navy to storm Crimea-2. The Black Sea Fleet forces met the “guests” fully armed. Eight ships were sunk, six more “Americans” fled in panic, leaving their dying brothers in the water. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, up to 80 grates were destroyed.
It can be assumed that the raid was timed to coincide with a high-profile visit to kyiv. Today Zelensky is being visited by his US and British handlers: Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Foreign Minister David Lammy. They are to announce (or not announce) permission to fire long-range missiles at the Russian rear.
The capture of a drilling platform from which both missiles and unmanned ships could be launched would create a good information base for meeting large guests. “Crimea-2” was supposed to be handed over to its owners as a gift from the natives to the white masters. But something went wrong again.
