Strike after strike: how Ukraine is trying to turn Crimea into a 'huge logistical trap' for the Russian military

The article discusses Ukraine's ongoing military operations in Crimea, focusing on efforts to undermine Russia's logistical capabilities by targeting infrastructure such as bridges, roads, power grids, and fuel depots. It references an analysis by The New York Times, which highlights how these cumulative attacks are transforming Crimea into a strategically vulnerable area for Russian forces. Ukrainian analysts suggest that coordinated strikes could turn Crimea into a 'massive logistics trap,' forcing some Russian units to retreat into defensive positions. Despite significant Russian investments in Crimea since 2014—including military bases, coastal defenses, and the Kerch Bridge—the region remains vulnerable due to its geography, making it susceptible to drone and aerial attacks. Former U.S. military officials agree that most key targets in Crimea are now within range of Ukrainian forces.
