In April, Baiden administration received $ 61 billion in Congress for military support, after a six -year delay. This package has a great impact, in particular due to the arrival of ATACMS ballistic missiles with 300 km. This gives Ukraine the opportunity to strike goals in occupied Crimea with fatal.
The Economist article, which appeared on June 2, notes that Ukraine, despite the restrictions on the use of US weapons in Russia, still makes effective strikes in the Crimea. According to experts, the Ukrainians made Crimea "unsuitable for staying Russian troops."
Ukraine uses the "deadly combination" of ATACMS and drones to weaken Russia's air defense in Crimea, attack air base and strategically important objects. Successful blows have already been accomplished against military purposes, such as Dzhanka and Belbek bases in Sevastopol.
It is noted that Russian authorities consider Crimea strategically important. Putin has invested a lot of money in local military infrastructure. However, now all this is at risk because of Ukraine's actions.
The first test of the success of the campaign of Ukraine in Crimea can take place this summer, when Russian tourists usually travel to the peninsula across the Kerch Bridge. This can be an important test for Putin, as tourism is a key component of the Crimean economy, and its popularity among tourists has already decreased.
