Ukraine is menacing Russian supply lines with drones, sparking a fuel crisis in Crimea

Article excerpt

Ukraine's expanding drone campaign is crippling Russian military logistics across occupied territories, with attacks on fuel convoys and supply depots creating acute shortages in Crimea and forcing Moscow to reroute deliveries through slower, more vulnerable routes. The strikes target the Kerch Strait bridge and highways that funnel supplies to Russian forces, compelling soldiers to ration fuel and disrupting operations. By making supply lines prohibitively dangerous, Ukraine has found a way to degrade Russian capabilities without large-scale ground offensives, exposing the vulnerabilities in Putin's occupation strategy.
