The occupiers have banned military freight traffic through the land corridor to Crimea
The Russian military command has banned the transport of military cargo via the land corridor to the temporarily occupied Crimea through the seized territories of Ukraine.
This was reported by Robert Brovdi “Madyar,” commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces.
According to him, the decision took effect on June 7 by order of the commander of the “Vostok” military group. The ban applies to the R-280 “Novorossiya” highway on the Mariupol–Berdyansk–Melitopol–Simferopol section.
Brovdi noted that over the past two weeks, freight traffic on this route has decreased by 71% thanks to strikes by the Ukrainian Defense Forces. While in mid-May approximately 11,000 vehicles traveled the route daily—3,800 of which were freight vehicles—by early June, total traffic had dropped to 6,500 vehicles, and freight traffic to 1,100.
At the same time, the SBS commander emphasized that there is currently no question of complete fire control over the route or its blockade.
“A collapse in traffic is not a blockade. But the current restriction on the first land corridor, which serves as a lifeline for the occupying forces, is effective and having an impact,” Brovdi noted.
According to him, the occupying forces are now forced to use alternative routes for logistics.
