Zelensky on GUR raising flag in Crimea: too early to talk about liberation
He noted this during a joint press conference with the President of Portugal, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, in Kyiv, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“It is too early to talk about the liberation of Crimea. Second, I will have a detailed report from General Budanov. The third - yes, these are our guys. Fourth, there are no casualties on our side, which is good news. At least, this is what I could discuss over the phone with the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate,” Zelensky told journalists.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, GUR units ran a daring landing operation in temporarily occupied Crimea with the support of Ukraine’s Navy.
In a brazen stunt conducted on Ukraine’s Independence Day, a small group landed on the Black Sea shore in the area of Olenivka and Mayak settlements and engaged in a firefight with the invaders, incurring losses on enemy forces.
