Strong pressure on Crimea is the fastest way to end the war on terms acceptable to Ukraine.

This is written by the American publication Washington Post.

"Kyiv does not want a negotiated cease-fire that Moscow would exploit to rearm and resume the war at a more propitious time. Only this kind of ringing defeat will force Russia to finally accept Ukraine as a fully sovereign state," Washington Post writes.

American journalists note that strikes by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on military bases in Crimea will lead to the destruction of Iranian drones that are wreaking havoc on Ukraine's infrastructure.

In addition to disrupting supply lines, such weapons can also be used to destroy bases on the Crimea peninsula from which Iranian drones wreak havoc on Ukraine's infrastructure.

"A Ukrainian advance that put Crimea within Ukrainian artillery range would create a huge and expensive logistical problem for Russian President Vladimir Putin. His military and civilian administration in Crimea would be particularly threatened if Ukraine were also able to fully destroy, or even keep under steady fire, the bridge over the Kerch Strait connecting the peninsula directly with Russia. Such a setback would have political ramifications in Moscow, and the fissures that we currently see in the Putin regime would grow", reports WP.
