Danilov promised to "smoke" Russians out of Crimea

Ukraine has enough potential to retake the Russian-occupied peninsula. At the same time, the Ukrainian defence forces already have weapons to liberate Crimea. This was stated by the secretary of the National Security and Defence Council, Oleksiy Danylov, in an interview with Ukrainian Radio on Friday, 15 September.

He stressed that Ukraine relies on weapons of its own production in its offensive against the peninsula. He also pointed out that it had already proved itself well during the attack on Yevpatoria and noted that during it the Russian Triumf air defence system, which the Russians had previously called one that was impossible to destroy, was destroyed.

Triumf is indeed a very expensive thing, and the Russians claimed that it was impossible to destroy these installations, that they protect themselves and are so ultra-modern that not a single fly or bee can get in there. As practice shows, what is needed, what is produced by our military-industrial complex enterprises, for which they are very grateful," said the Secretary of the Security Council.

Danilov stressed that attacks on the peninsula will continue "no matter how the Russians make noise."

This is our peninsula, and it will definitely be liberated in the way we deem necessary. Today it looks like that if the Russians do not leave Crimea on their own, we will have to 'smoke' them out of there with the help of weapons that we have at our disposal," Danilov added.

We would like to point out that the Russians occupied Crimea in 2014. Now the enemy is using the peninsula as a military base.
