Occupiers transferring air defense forces from Crimea to russia to cover their oil refineries - partisans

The russian occupiers are transferring air defense forces from Crimea deep into the russian federation.

This is reported by the Telegram channel of the partisan movement ATESH.

Thus, ATESH agents from the armed forces of the aggressor country of the russian federation stated that the army command has begun withdrawing individual anti-aircraft missile units from Crimea to russia. This decision is dictated not only by the strikes of the Ukrainian Defense Forces on oil depots and military infrastructure, but also by public pressure inside russia.

According to the partisans, some of the complexes, including the installations of the 31st Air Defense Division, are already being redeployed from the peninsula to new positions.

"The occupiers understand that this step creates critical gaps in the defense of Crimea, but they have no other way out. As a result, airfields, military depots and the Kerch Bridge remain vulnerable," the partisans emphasized.

The ATESH also noted that the attacks by Ukrainian long-range drones demonstrate that the putin regime is unable to protect military facilities in the Belgorod, Kursk, Voronezh Oblasts and other regions of russia.

"They have to take risks, since the losses of oil depots and logistics hubs in russia are already reaching a critical point. The putin regime may lose the ability to effectively supply its troops with fuel, which will inevitably affect their combat capability at the front," the partisans emphasized.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, according to foreign policy analyst Hlib Ostapenko, the systematic campaign of strikes on russian refineries and oil depots, which began in September 2023, is gaining new momentum.
