Strikes on the fuel infrastructure in occupied Crimea have seriously affected the logistics of Russian troops in the south. Due to fuel shortages, some equipment in the Kherson sector is not being used, and the command is forced to impose a strict economic regime.
This was reported by the Atesh movement.
Russian units in the temporarily occupied territory of the Kherson region have faced difficulties in providing fuel. The reason for this was the attacks on fuel infrastructure facilities in Crimea, which disrupted the established supply chains. As a result, fuel supplies are currently being carried out in small volumes and do not meet the real needs of the troops on the front line.
According to the guerrilla movement, the situation is particularly difficult in the area of Hola Prystan. One of the key factors in the deterioration of logistics is the damage to the oil depot in Feodosia, which has significantly affected the supply of the Russian group involved in the Kherson sector. Due to limited supplies, much of the military equipment is actually idle and not involved in the execution of tasks.
According to the Russian military themselves, the command has imposed severe restrictions on the use of fuel. The movement of equipment is minimized, and resources are allocated in minimal amounts. This indicates attempts to preserve the remaining resources in the face of their acute shortage.
Despite the occupation forces' attempts to compensate for the shortage with small batches of supplies, such measures cannot radically change the situation. Logistical problems remain systemic and continue to affect the combat capability of Russian units in the region.
Recently, the Ukrainian Defense Forces hit a radar station in occupied Crimea, as well as command posts and areas where Russian troops were concentrated. In addition, the Ukrainian military has struck other occupiers' targets, including warehouses and command centers.
