The representative of the Chief Intelligence Directorate was asked whether Ukraine could use the HIMARS and M270 systems on the territory of Crimea.
“Today, the Crimean peninsula has become simply a hub for the transfer of all equipment and weapons that come from the Russian Federation to the southern regions of our country. You see how actively the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation is currently used for launching missile strikes on our territory. These are Kalibr systems, frigates, small missile ships, and submarines, which are constantly on combat duty, waiting for commands, and then they conduct launches, regardless of the time of day. Because of this, it is also one of the targets that should be hit in order to guarantee the safety of our citizens, our facilities and Ukraine in general.”
