Partisans have been conducting reconnaissance at the oil depot in Dzhankoi, used by the Russians, for several months. This is one of the largest oil depots carefully guarded by the occupiers, according to the partisan movement Atesh.

“For many months, starting from the end of last year, our agents have been conducting reconnaissance and surveillance of the oil depot in Dzhankoi,” the statement reads.

The partisans were able to identify the logistics routes and equipment used by the Russians to transport oil products. According to the partisans, the territory of the oil depot is fenced off, constantly patrolled, and dozens of cameras are positioned around the perimeter.

“They (the cameras) are installed both in prominent places and in spots for covert video recording, demonstrating how much the occupiers value this facility,” the partisan movement notes.

All the information has already been passed on to the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

Situation in Crimea

It is worth noting that the Russians are turning Crimea into their military base, and the peninsula serves as a logistical hub supporting the occupiers in southern Ukraine.

However, Ukrainian defenders have carried out a series of successful operations in Crimea. As a result of the attacks, enemy ships, oil depots, command posts, and so on have been destroyed.

For example, in April, Ukrainian soldiers struck at a military airfield in Dzhankoi. According to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, enemy air defense assets were destroyed, and an occupier’s command post was also hit.
