In an interview with the Associated Press, Madyar asserted that Ukrainian military actions targeting Crimea constitute the initial phase of a comprehensive campaign. He stated the overarching objective of these efforts is to render the peninsula unsuitable for use as a staging area by the Russian army. Madyar emphasized the strategic importance of the region, noting that “Crimea is one of the key conceptual pillars on the way to ending the war.”
Regarding the operational capabilities, the commander indicated that the drone systems forces currently possess only 14 percent of the equipment required for a full-scale campaign across Crimea.
He addressed potential supply chain concerns, clarifying that the limitation is not related to the manufacturing capacity of Ukrainian producers. Furthermore, he highlighted the strategic value of the region’s infrastructure, pointing out that there are no unattacked oil refineries in the European segment of Russia, with the most critical facility located in Crimea. Madyar identified the core challenge as a logistical and financial one.
According to his statements, the primary obstacle is the delayed provision of necessary funds from international partners. He characterized this issue as a straightforward problem of funding timelines, suggesting that timely financial support is crucial for the full execution of the planned military operations. These ongoing strikes underscore Ukraine’s continued strategic focus on degrading Russian military capabilities across the Crimean peninsula.
