Ukraine’s Drone Offensive Deepens Fuel Shortages in Occupied Crimea
Ukraine’s sustained drone strikes on supply routes to Crimea have disrupted fuel deliveries and deepened shortages after attacks on oil refineries. Analysts report hundreds of drone attacks on military trucks along the key Rostov–Mariupol–Crimea corridor, cutting cargo traffic by over 70%. Locals in occupied Crimea now face 10-hour queues at petrol stations and strict rationing of 20 litres per purchase using prepaid vouchers. Videos on social media show long lines of drivers forced to walk or consider alternative transport in cities like Simferopol. With sea routes too dangerous and the Kerch Bridge deemed a risky target, land access remains Crimea’s only lifeline. Experts warn these logistics bottlenecks are not only hitting civilians but also straining Russian military operations in the south.
