Fighters of the special unit of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine "Phantoms" showed how they destroy enemy military targets in Crimea and leave the occupiers without fuel, reports UNN.
"Debenzinization of the occupiers in Crimea — GUR's 'Phantoms' continue the systematic destruction of enemy military logistics," the video caption reads.
The GUR emphasizes that the masters of the special unit "Phantoms" continue systematic work on the demilitarization of temporarily occupied Crimea — destroying and disabling military targets of the Russian occupation group.
"After the appearance of the 'Phantoms,' the invaders lose surveillance assets and suffer serious logistical problems — including on the railway," the GUR clarified.
The "Phantoms" unit struck during June 2026:
- Radar station "Kasta-2E2";
- 6 fuel tankers;
- 2 freight locomotives;
- 3 fuel tank cars;
- military equipment on a train.

Ukrainian servicemen are actively working to cut the logistics arteries connecting temporarily occupied Crimea with the Russian group in the south.
The military, using Ukrainian-made middle-strike UAVs, have already struck key Crimean bridges near Chongar and Armyansk. The strikes were carried out using FP-2 and "Behemoth" drones. The bridge connecting Kherson region with Crimea in Chongar was hit twice – on the night of June 6-7, and also on the night of June 9.
In addition, on June 8, a bridge leading from Henichesk to the Arabat Spit came under attack. Two more bridges across the North Crimean Canal – near the settlements of Preobrazhenka and Myrne near Armyansk – were attacked on June 11.
Furthermore, on the night of June 13, the "Dzhankoi" checkpoint, a railway bridge, and a pontoon crossing were struck. In the video recordings of the strikes shown by the 1st Separate Assault Regiment named after Dmytro Kotsiubailo, instead of a traditional sight, there is a green heart, characteristic of attack drones produced by Fire Point.
On the night of June 22, a railway bridge across the North Crimean Canal was destroyed.
After a series of strikes on logistics facilities, electrical substations on the peninsula and an energy hub in Kuban that supplies Crimea were also attacked.
Military expert Oleh Zhdanov believes that the peninsula remains the most vulnerable link in the Russian occupation system.
"We have always said from the very beginning that it would be easiest to liberate Crimea, rather than the territory of mainland Ukraine. Why? Because the mainland part adjoins the Russian Federation, and logistics there are very powerful. But Crimea is a territory that can be captured, but is extremely difficult to hold," Oleh Zhdanov noted in a comment to UNN.
According to the expert, the current strikes have not only a military effect of cutting off the logistics of Russian troops, but also a political one.
"Creating conditions for the liberation of Crimea nullifies all the goals that Putin set for this war. I mean back in 2014, when he talked about 'returning to a safe haven' and promised to turn Crimea into an 'unsinkable aircraft carrier.' And now this aircraft carrier is sinking. The main political goal of seizing foreign territories and destroying Ukraine as a state is being broken," Zhdanov explained.
Strikes on Crimean logistics put Russia before a choice: either to transfer more and more resources to protect the occupied peninsula, or to risk gradually losing control over Crimea.
