Ukraine’s recapture of Kherson in November 2022 put Crimea into the spotlight. The peninsula is now within range of HIMARS and other weapons, and there is speculation of a Ukrainian spring offensive in Zaphorizia Oblast to cut Russia’s land bridge to Crimea in preparation for an invasion. Here’s why that would destroy Russia.
Crimea is one of Russia’s most strategically important pieces of real estate. It is the location of both Russia’s main black sea naval base and one of its few warm water ports – ports that do not freeze in winter. Politically, Putin has promoted his annexation of Crimea as his greatest achievement. Its loss would not only cripple Russia’s military, economy, and supply lines into Ukraine, but Putin’s own prestige and potentially bring him and his regime down.
This may be why Russia tried to carry out an offensive operation in Zaporizhia near the end of January 2023. If Ukraine recaptures it, Crimea becomes much more vulnerable.

Hello!
Russia already had a warm water port in Novorossiysk and they could easily put another nearby.
Yup if they take back Crimea , Putin like a cornered animal might go for broke and start handing out the mushroom cards.
I don't understand why people keep forgetting Russia is armed to the teefers with the nooks .
They need to negotiate before Putty drops it like it's hot.
Russia will win.
Crimea have always been part of Russia, and Ukraine will lose the war 🙂
Good News
Crimea is very important to Russia. With the world arming the Ukraine up, Russia has no choice but to escalate. How far is Russia willing to go? All the way, I think. China is our main threat. Do we really want conflict with Russia?
I suspect putin would order a nuclear strike if Ukraine recaptured Crimea.
Yeah but don't be telling these people battle plans.
A lefty!!
Please yes Russia needs a complete makeover. , thank you.

Who cares

to bad
Uh… Crimea is Ukrainian territory. Russia never managed to capture it. They tried to annex it in 2014 which is what started this war. They have been fighting it since then.
There is why it's impossible is the right content here
Why can't Russia utilize the Eastern Azov Sea for a port, they build everything else.
Level Crimea make it uninhabitable for even a cockroach! It can be rebuilt! Give them enough HIMARs to completely turn the naval base in Sebastopol to ruble!
