Crimea

Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) is reportedly planning the destruction of the Crimean bridge within the next three months. The bridge, which connects Russia to the occupied Crimean peninsula, has long been a contentious symbol of Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014.

Ukraine's military intelligence, the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense, has reported significant damage to a Russian landing craft, the Yamal. The assault on the Yamal, a large Russian amphibious assault ship, occurred on Sunday morning and resulted in serious impairment to the vessel.

The Ukrainian armed forces launched a targeted strike on occupied Sevastopol in the Crimean Peninsula, destroying two Russian amphibious ships along with a communications center and several other infrastructure facilities, according to Ukrinform.

Türkiye has reiterated that it won't recognize Russia's annexation of Crimea and underlined its support for the territorial integrity of Ukraine.

The Foreign Ministry issued a written statement "Regarding the Tenth Anniversary of the Illegal Annexation of Crimea" on March 16.

The party has started in Crimea as explosions rocked the region overnight, targeting the military ship "Sergey Kotov," resulting in its sinking, according to reports from Unian. The fate of the crew remains uncertain as authorities continue to assess the situation in the aftermath of the attack.

The Russians cannot safely enter their main logistics base - Sevastopol.
Namely, the Ukrainian army "cut off" the Russian fleet from their main home port, boasted Ukrainian Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk, as reported by the Ukrainian portal RBK Ukraine.
