Quote from counterintelligence officer Yenot: “During our preparations for the operation, most of the information we obtained came from open sources.
One of the sources of such information was a video recording made by a Russian woman who was relaxing on a yacht near the Crimean Bridge – she filmed the internal structures of the bridge’s arch. This information gave us an idea of the point where the bridge had to be attacked in order to cause maximum damage.”
Quote from counterintelligence officer Khrom: “Every Russian with a smartphone is our best friend, comrade and client. We can observe a lot of sites inside Russia itself and in the occupied territories. We hope they’ll keep on filming, photographing and sharing.”
Background:
- Ukrainian uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) attacked the Crimean Bridge in July 2023 and destroyed a Russian Sig oil tanker in the Kerch Strait and the Olenegorsky Gornyak, a large landing ship, in Novorossiysk Bay in August.
