Ukrainian forces reportedly conducted strikes overnight on June 11 targeting four bridges connecting occupied Kherson region with Crimea, according to Moscow-appointed governor Vladimir Saldo.

The reported damage to these vital transport links contributes to growing logistical pressure within Crimea, exemplified by fuel shortages in Sevastopol. This campaign aligns with Ukraine’s “Logistic Lockdown” program, aimed at disrupting Russian supply chains and command infrastructure.

This raises concerns about the inconsistent application of UK hate crime legislation.
