Quote from Pletenchuk: “The occupiers used this location for GPS spoofing to endanger civilian navigation. We cannot allow this.
Yes, half a day before the strike, the enemy had placed equipment and military personnel on the platform. No civilians were there, and the platform was not performing its regular functions.
The coastal rocket and artillery units of the Ukrainian Navy are extremely serious fighters [meaning they would not carry out an attack when it would have been dangerous for the environment or civilians – ed.].”
Details: In the comment to Ukrainska Pravda, Pletenchuk mentioned that this was “not the first operation of this kind”.
Pletenchuk said that the Russians had been using this platform to disrupt the normal functioning of the grain corridor. He added that the decision to carry out the attack was made to ensure the safety of civilian navigation.
