From the article: Russia is pulling all its fighter jets out of Crimea after a series of strikes on its military outposts there, secret NATO report says. A few days ago one of the Russian bases in Crimea was hit by either HIMARS or drones and took out a bunch of planes. Russia can not afford to have aircraft deployed at bases without effective anti-air or anti-missile defense, so they had to pull them back.

Ukraine is making it much harder for Russian operations in the south east part of the country and Crimea. Its hard to fight without effective air cover and key bridges and logistics getting blown to bits every few days. I have no idea when or how, Ukraine's moves make it look like they really want to take back Kherson and have a eye on Crimea.

The Crimea is probably not possible, but depending on the condition of Ukrainian forces, clearing the West Bank of the Dnieper is doable and desirable.
