  • The attacks have triggered the worst fuel shortage in Crimea since its 2014 annexation, prompting rationing and long queues at petrol stations (apnews.com).
  • Russia faces growing logistical vulnerability: with alternative routes constrained, its capacity to supply its forces and civilians in Crimea is increasingly compromised (euronews.com)
