transport routes

The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reports that Ukrainian attacks near the Kerch Strait aim to degrade Russia’s military operations in Crimea and southern Ukraine. These efforts include strikes on transport routes, fuel infrastructure, air defenses, and expanded drone operations targeting Russian rear assets, forcing Moscow to adjust tactics and logistics.

Food shortages are worsening in Russian-occupied Crimea, with stores limiting purchases of staples due to logistical disruptions. Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation reported the shortages, which coincide with a fuel crisis as Ukrainian strikes on key transport routes strain Russia’s ability to supply the peninsula.
