During a war, some cities, points or regions are more important than others. These cities had many strategically advantageous points. Dominance in these cities allows an army to establish a great superiority over its opponent during both defense and attack. In the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, there are many such cities.
One of these cities is Berdyansk. Located on the shores of the Sea of Azov, the city is indispensably valuable for both countries. When we look at the developments in recent days, we see that the Ukrainian army has brought forward its goal of reaching this city. The developments in and around Berdyansk confirm this. So what is happening in Berdyansk and why is the city important? Let’s take a look at the latest developments and reports on the importance of the city.
The counter-offensive launched by the Ukrainian army continues unabated on almost the entire front line. Many sources are reporting that Ukrainian troops are gaining the upper hand at many points on the frontline. However, the reports are not only about the front line. There are also remarkable developments in the attacks of Ukrainian troops behind the front line.
One of the important points behind the front line that Ukrainian troops have been targeting in recent days and even for a long time is the port city of Berdyansk. So much so that in recent days, Berdyansk seems to have been given priority in the Ukrainian army’s targets for the regions to be liberated. Ukrainian troops are regularly shelling the city on the western coast of the Sea of Azov with heavy artillery!
Over the past few days, Ukrainian artillery carried out a massive attack on the vicinity of the airport in Berdyansk using a large number of Storm Shadow missiles. Although Russian sources claim that the Storm Shadow missiles fired by the Ukrainian army were destroyed by air defense systems, local sources report that many missiles successfully hit their targets without being intercepted by the air defense system.
