Fuel and logistics crisis deepens in Crimea due to strikes on Russian oil refining - Zelenskyy

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that Ukrainian intelligence has obtained materials indicating a daily deepening of the fuel, logistics, and management crisis in temporarily occupied Crimea. According to him, similar problems are also being recorded in other regions of the Russian Federation. The head of state reported this on Telegram, reports UNN.

Details

According to the president, the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine has obtained internal documents of the Russian occupation administration, which confirm the impossibility of overcoming the consequences of Ukrainian strikes on fuel infrastructure.

"Important achievements of our intelligence regarding the situation in Crimea and other our territories currently under Russian occupation. The Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine has obtained materials that indicate an almost daily deepening of the crisis with fuel, military logistics, and management in Crimea. The Russian occupation administration quite clearly and unambiguously acknowledges the impossibility of solving the problems created by our medium-range sanctions against the occupier, as well as the implementation of the long-range sanctions plan, primarily regarding Russian oil refining. A similar situation is unfolding in other Russian regions," Zelenskyy noted.

Reminder

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 the 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 – in the area of 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 the company Fire Point.

On the night of June 22, a railway bridge across the North Crimean Canal was destroyed.

The series of strikes on bridges and logistics routes connecting temporarily occupied Crimea with the mainland part of Ukraine became the next stage of the Ukrainian strategy to isolate the Russian group in the south.
