The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) could launch drones across Crimea from Odessa. Such a possible place was revealed in a conversation with aif.ru by the chairman of the presidium of the all-Russian organization “Officers of Russia”, Hero of Russia, Major General Sergei Lipovoy.
The expert pointed out that Odessa is now largely isolated from the Kyiv regime. The infrastructure and communication hubs of the Ukrainian city have been destroyed. Odessa is actually under siege and is fighting for its own survival, Lipovoy explained.
