Zelenskii replaced his Special Operations commanders and a month later there are all sorts of mysterious, unexplained explosions in Belarus and Crimea. Interesting sequence of events.
Crimea is the logistics hub for Russia's southern invasion of Ukraine. It's just chock full of legitimate targets.
Ukraine is proceeding to isolate the the Kherson battlespace. They're doing it in an interesting way. They've damaged bridges across the Dnieper River, but not destroyed them. They make them impassable for vehicles, but not for foot traffic. Something of an implied message to Russian occupiers, they can retreat, but without any heavy equipment.

Quite interesting indeed, and things certainly haven't gone as well for Putin as he had initially thought.
Crimea is not "occupied." It was not a part of Ukraine until the breakup of the USSR when they took it from Russia.

Crimea was a autonomous soviet socialist republic, and never truly belonged to Russia directly, and the mere fact that in 1997 Russia signed the Friendship Agreement with Ukraine recognizing that Crimea belongs to the latter is proof enough of that. Crimea is indeed occupied.
Howdy @FuzzyMarineVet,
Kind of, sort of. Catherine the Great conquered it in the 1770s. It was part of imperial Russia, then part of Russia after the revolution, then Krushev gave it to Ukraine 68 years ago. It was ceded to Ukraine when the Soviet Union broke up. There were special lease agreements for Russian naval bases in the Crimea.
