The Atesh partisan movement, citing its agent from the russian Armed Forces, reports that the russian army command has started withdrawing some anti-aircraft missile systems from Crimea to russia. It is reported that this decision was dictated not only by the strikes of the Defense Forces of Ukraine on oil depots and military infrastructure, but also by public pressure inside russia.
It is known that some of the systems, including those of the 31st Air Defense Division, are being redeployed from the peninsula to new positions. "The occupiers understand that this move creates critical gaps in Crimea's defenses, but they have no other option. This leaves airfields, military depots, and the Kerch Bridge vulnerable," the Atesh emphasized.

At the same time, Ukrainian long-range drone attacks demonstrate that Putin's regime is unable to protect military facilities in Belgorod, Kursk, Voronezh and other regions of russia.
According to the Atesh, russian occupiers have to take risks as the losses of oil depots and logistics hubs in russia are reaching a critical point. Therefore, putin's regime may lose the ability to effectively supply its troops with fuel, which will inevitably impact their combat effectiveness at the front.
"This result was made possible not only by the strikes of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, but also by the efforts of our movement. Our agents have made a key contribution to weakening the occupying forces, and this is just the beginning. We know that the enemy is weak, and now it is creating favorable conditions for us to completely defeat it," the statement reads.
