“This is a pure adventure that led to the death of the remnants of the military aviation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the remnants of the military fleet of Ukraine,” he said.
Dadykin explained that Snake Island is important in operational and strategic terms.
“Romania is not far away, where the communications of sea supply vessels are located, and not far from Odessa,” he said.
The expert called it absolutely correct that the island was taken under control by Russian troops at the beginning of the special operation.
“Of course, Ukraine could not come to terms with this and decided to arrange such a win.
I decided to arrange it for our great holiday, May 9, to prick us with this.
Dropped everything I could.
The result is a fiasco.
We continue to control the island,” he stressed.
Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Igor Konashenkov, said that Kyiv, during a thoughtless PR campaign to seize Snake Island, lost more than 50 Ukrainian militants and military personnel of the elite units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, four aircraft, ten helicopters, three boats and 30 unmanned aerial vehicles.
According to a RIA Novosti source in law enforcement agencies, the Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky personally ordered the attack on Serpent Island, planned by British advisers, he demanded a result by May 9, although the Ukrainian General Staff was against it.
