The Ukrainian Armed Forces have carried out about 200 strikes on Russian logistics facilities en route to Crimea — FT
The Ukrainian Armed Forces have significantly intensified their strikes against Russian logistics along the so-called “land corridor” to Crimea. Since May, at least 375 attacks have been recorded on trucks, fuel tankers, and other vehicles belonging to the occupying forces.
According to the publication, more than half of the strikes targeted the “Novorossiya” highway, which connects Rostov-on-Don with occupied Crimea via Mariupol and Melitopol.
French analyst Clément Molen, who studies open-source data, notes that on this highway alone, approximately 200 vehicles have been hit since early May.
In June, one of the main targets of the strikes were the crossings between the occupied part of the Kherson region and Crimea. In particular, attacks were recorded in the Chongar area, which is a key supply hub for Russian forces in the south.
Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces Robert Brovdy (“Madyar”) previously stated his intention to “isolate Crimea” by increasing pressure on the occupiers’ logistics routes.

The shortage of automotive fuel, previously reported in the temporarily occupied Crimea, has begun to spread to the southern regions of Russia. Residents of the Krasnodar Krai and Rostov Oblast are reporting shortages of gasoline and diesel fuel.
In the temporarily occupied Sevastopol, restrictions on gasoline sales have been imposed due to fuel supply issues following strikes on Russian refineries. Russian Telegram channels reported this on May 22.
