Ukrainian troops are successfully advancing in the south as part of a counteroffensive operation.

Military analyst Ihal Levin said that the de-occupation of the temporarily occupied Crimea will take place in several stages. 

Military analyst Yihal Levin told about this on the air "1+1" as part of the telethon. 

"I have never separated Crimea from Kherson at all. The south is Crimea and Kherson. It is another matter that, let's say,

We have left and right banks. There are territories with steppes, which are classified as settlements, and there is like Kherson - a big city. That is

(

). So is Crimea. This is another level. I doubt that Crimea will be considered separately from the south. I am sure that the Ukrainian authorities consider the south as a part of Crimea, and Crimea as a part of the south," he noted.

It will be recalled that the Australian general said that the following days will be even worse for the occupiers in the south.

He noted that Ukrainian attacks in the south began months ago.

The Armed Forces not only recaptured the territory, but also participated in the reconnaissance battle in order to obtain intelligence data without giving information to the enemy.
