“In this inherently criminal organization, our people were able to eliminate two very important officers of the Russian National Guard who were rushing from Sevastopol to Simferopol. They didn't make it, they burned in their car.”

A video was also published where a car, according to Atesh, belonging to the occupiers is seen on fire on a road bridge on the Ukrainian peninsula.

“We congratulate our brothers on a successful operation. Although the explosive was homemade, it explodes as well as a regular one does. Well done,” the Atesh message reads.

Earlier, the head of Ukrainian intelligence, Kyrylo Budanov, said that Ukraine should “do everything for Crimea to return home before the summer.”
