Zelenskyy, the President of Ukraine, has emphasized the need for patience in Ukraine’s strategy to regain control of Crimea and the Black Sea from Russia. In response to recent Ukrainian attacks, Russian officials have declared an air raid alert in the Crimean port city of Sevastopol. Sirens went off in the city and traffic on the Crimean bridge and sea transport were suspended. These attacks by Ukraine aim to weaken Russia’s control over the water. Moscow has accused Ukraine of attempted assassination and has been bombarding Ukraine with long-range missiles and assault drones. Despite facing challenges and disappointing results, Zelenskyy remains optimistic about Ukraine’s progress and believes that the goal of regaining control over Crimea and the surrounding waters is just a matter of time. He calls for patience, perseverance, and focus on the final goal, emphasizing the importance of Ukraine’s survival and the commitment of those fighting for the country.
