Major John Spencer said “magic explosions” at a Russian ammunition depot and air base in Crimea have made Russia “weaker every day for this war” as the attacks resulted in the loss of “millions and millions of dollars [in ammunitions and military equipment] that Russians can’t replace”. Referring to the current Ukrainian counter-attack in Kherson, he forecasted “if the troops in Kherson can be cut off, [Russian forces] may give up”, resulting in a “major win” for Ukraine.
Referring to the explosions in Crimea, Mr Spencer told Times Radio: “Russia is weaker because of that one really important strike and the same thing with the ammunition depot.
“Russia gets weaker every day of this war.
“This isn’t Russia, this is Crimea, this is Russian-occupied Ukraine.
“The Black Sea Fleet is more vulnerable without these Navy aircrafts, up to ten naval aircrafts, millions and millions of dollars that the Russians can’t replace.
“Their fleet, the actual ships, are now more vulnerable without those.
“To send Russia a message that they can hit that deep into Russian-occupied area, hundreds of kilometres from the front line, sends a bunch of signals about the battle of Kherson about to happen.
“It’s a message that Russian can’t hide from their citizens.
“As you see, massive amounts of Russians who are on vacation in Crimea are clogging up the reads, trying to get over the Kerch Bridge.”
He stressed: “It’s a great day for Ukraine, those magic explosions they don’t want to take credit for
“Of course, they don’t want to take credit for, but they are happening.
Referring to the current Ukrainian counter-attack in Kherson in the attempt to regain control over the Russian-occupied region, he argued and forecasted: “We’ve been seeing for weeks that the Ukrainians have smartly been approaching, liberating Kherson very smartly by cutting off Russian forces.
“If the troops in that Kherson Oblast can be cut off, they may give up.

“They don’t have a great cause they’re fighting for.
“This is what Ukraine has been doing, taking out all the bridges, taking out the road intersections and the ammunition supplies.
“It could be a major win”.
The comments came as Ukrainian forces are now attempting to retake control over Kherson, a region under Russian control since the beginning of the war in February.
Over the last few days, Ukrainian forces have been targeting several railway lines from the Russian-occupied Crimea into Kherson region in the attempt to cut the supply of ammunition and military equipment between the two areas.
First Deputy head of Kherson regional council Yuri Sobolevsky on his Telegram channel said that a significant portion of the Russian military command departed from Kherson city, with Ukrainian forces now about 25 kilometres north of the city.
The updates from Kherson come a few days after the blasts recorded in the Crimean towns of Saki and Maiske, where Ukrainian are believed to have launched two attacks against Russian ammunition depot of Maiske and Saki air base.
The blast at the Russian air base last week destroyed seven Russian warplanes, which appeared to be Su-24 bombers and Su-30 multirole fighter jets.
