Ukraine Strikes Both Sides of Crimean Bridge, Disrupting Russian Logistics
On June 21, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed strikes targeting energy and military logistics on both sides of the Crimean Bridge, including oil transportation in the Krasnodar region and an oil depot in Kerch. These strikes are part of Ukraine’s intensified efforts to isolate the strategically vital peninsula from Russia. Reports indicate damage to oil terminals, gas compressors, and radar systems, with social media footage showing a significant fire at an oil terminal in Kerch and the Kavkaz port. The attacks contributed to a wider disruption, leading Russian authorities to suspend civilian fuel sales in occupied Crimea.
