A key role in the liberation of Snake Island in the Black Sea was played by the coastal missile forces created during the war.. This was announced by the commander of the Navy Oleksiy Neyezhpapa in an interview published by the Naval Forces of Ukraine..

According to the commander of the Ukrainian Navy, Russia in most cases delivered food and ammunition to the island by sea..

“Forcing a person to leave the island can be a lack of food and ammunition. They are delivered there either by sea or by air.. The sea route is a priority, because a helicopter to fly from Crimea to the island has enough fuel only one way,” Neyezhpapa stressed..

A decisive role in the liberation of the island was played by the coastal missile forces created during the war, which cut off the provision of the island to the Russians..

“Our coastal missile forces, created during the war, were tasked with preventing the logistical support of Snake Island. Which was done,"

Ukraine also carried out strikes on the island to destroy the infrastructure of the Russians..

“In parallel, fire influence was carried out on the island by systems that can destroy ground objects at such a distance.. Therefore, the Russians refused to hold the island,"
