Occupants hope to "return" Zmiinyi, but this is unrealistic - Budanov

The Russian occupiers do not abandon their plans to recapture the Ukrainian island of Zmiinyi, regularly launching missile and bomb attacks.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to an interview with the head of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine Kyrylo Budanov in the documentary project "GUR. Battle for the Sea" on the air of the national telethon.

“Rocket and bomb strikes are carried out regularly. Information has circulated several times, and we have seen confirmation of such an operation as we once carried out,” Budanov said.

However, according to him, this is impossible to do.

"But they could not do it, because it is no longer possible to drive the garrison off the island," the DIU chief stressed.
