Russia has begun transporting fuel to the front lines using civilian vehicles

A man off-camera says that a convoy of passenger cars carrying one ton of gasoline was assembled and dispatched from the city of Kizilyurt in Dagestan.

The fuel in canisters was loaded into the trunks of civilian cars. The delivery was organized on the orders of the city mayor.

According to the video’s author, the gasoline is intended for Russian military units stationed in the city of Tokmak, Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

In addition to the fuel itself, the drivers involved in the convoy are carrying 1.5 million rubles to purchase another batch of gasoline for the military.

In addition to powering vehicles, gasoline is a critically important resource for maintaining the combat readiness of Russian units on the front lines. Modern warfare requires a constant power supply to operate electronic warfare (EW) systems, charge batteries for reconnaissance and strike UAVs, as well as communication equipment and other devices. Generators are the primary source of power in dugouts and at observation posts.

Russian troops have also begun camouflaging military trucks as civilian vehicles due to active attacks by Ukrainian drones deep in the rear.

In the northern part of Crimea, an unusual Ural truck, freshly painted blue, was spotted. A man in civilian clothes with a short haircut was behind the wheel, but the vehicle’s license plates remained military.

The atypical design of the cargo bed, disguised as a dump truck, also draws attention. Its dimensions appear too large for this type of vehicle.

According to the monitoring project “Crimean Wind,” the command of the Russian “Dnipro” military group ordered the widespread use of civilian transport to carry fuel along the highway connecting Rostov-on-Don with the temporarily occupied Crimea.

In recent weeks, the Ukrainian Defense Forces have intensified drone strikes on logistics trucks and fuel tankers on the roads leading from Russia to occupied Crimea. The intensity of the attacks has already forced the occupiers to restrict the movement of freight transport through the temporarily occupied part of the Kherson region toward the peninsula.

This is reported by Russian propaganda media.

The Russians have changed their tactics for strikes on Zaporizhzhia.

Russia attacked Kherson with drones and artillery, resulting in casualties.

The Russian attack damaged energy and oil and gas infrastructure, and there are wounded.

Poland has scrambled fighter jets in response to a large-scale Russian air attack on Ukraine.

The press service of the Polish Armed Forces Operational Command officially announced the emergency response and activation of defense protocols on social media platform X. 

Russia attacked Kharkiv and the surrounding region overnight; there are casualties.
