Russia is redeploying new military units to the north of

Crimea

and continues to build defense structures.

This is how the Russians are trying to keep the occupied territories and preserve the land corridor to Crimea.

A representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Andriy Chernyak, reported this in a comment to "Ukrinform", reports the press service of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

"This was their idea of ​​capturing the Donetsk region, the coast of the Sea of ​​Azov, and their plans were also to cut off Ukraine from the Black Sea. But the occupying country could not implement any plans in Ukraine. Considering that our foreign partners supply us with new types of weapons, yes the so-called land corridor to Crimea is, of course, not safe. Ukraine will strike Russian positions throughout the occupied territory," Chernyak said.

The representative of the GUR added that the invaders are bringing new military units to the north of Crimea.

They also continue to build defense structures both in the north of the temporarily occupied peninsula and in the temporarily occupied part of the Kherson region.

"They will lose, that's why they create defensive structures where they can, realizing that they will have to conduct combat operations on these lines," Chernyak concluded.

We will remind, according to the head of the Center for Military and Legal Research Oleksandr Musienko, first of all, the Russians

want to keep the occupied territories in the south of Ukraine and preserve the land corridor to Crimea

.

Also, the invaders may aim to expand the borders of the captured territories of the state.

First of all, go to the administrative borders of Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

Note that the occupiers are

turning the seaport in Mariupol into a military base
