Digital Minister urges residents of occupied Crimea to share information on Bastion systems

Bastion coastal missile system

He called on residents of the peninsula to provide information on the locations of missile launches, Bastion system storage, missile storage, refueling stations, and Russian military personnel involved in Bastion system maintenance.

"Information on Bastions is very important," Fedorov explained.

"If they are destroyed, it will be a minus for the Russians' ability to strike Ukrainian cities."

He urged Crimea residents to send this information along with photos or videos to the eVoroh (Enemy) chatbot on Telegram, noting that anyone sharing information with Ukraine should take measures to ensure their security: delete their messages with the chatbot, any photos and videos that they shared, and empty their trash.

According to intelligence reports, Russian forces have been trying to penetrate the Ukrainian air defenses with Zircon missiles, which can reach any part of the country in a matter of minutes. Kyiv has been attacked with these missiles at least twice in recent months.

Russia's Zircon missile strikes in Kyiv

Explosions echoed through Kyiv almost simultaneously with the announcement of an air raid alert on March 25. Air defense forces destroyed two ballistic missiles launched from Crimea.

Ukrainian air defense forces probably shot down two Russian ZM22 Zircon missiles over Kyiv, Ukrainian defense news outlet Defense Express reported. This marked the second publicly known deployment of this missile type following a failed Russian attempt to strike Kyiv on Feb. 7.

Recent patterns indicate Russia is escalating its air strike frequency, aiming to pinpoint gaps in Ukraine's air defense.

The enemy had stockpiled Zircon missiles in Crimea and would continue its targeted terror, especially against Kyiv, the Ukrainian military's Operational Command South spokesperson Natalia Humeniuk said on March 26.

Russia's use of Zircon missiles could indicate a shortage of other types of missiles, Air Force spokesperson Illya Yevlash said on national television on March 27.
