At last, a conservative news aggregator that does not bow to the woke right.
In this Hot Air article, John Sexton reveals that Ukraine’s intensified drone campaign is severely disrupting Russia’s supply lines to occupied Crimea, making Putin’s control of the peninsula increasingly untenable despite the massive investment in the Kerch Bridge.
- Ukraine’s middle-distance drone strikes on roads, railways, and logistics have established aerial control over key routes feeding Russian forces, causing fuel shortages and complicating troop movements.
- Gasoline lines snake for hours across Crimea, with social media filled with videos of burning fuel trucks and empty stations, as deliveries from Russia are repeatedly disrupted.
- The Kerch Bridge, Moscow’s $7.5 billion connection to the peninsula, remains vulnerable after repeated Ukrainian attacks, with fuel deliveries already prohibited since 2022.
- Russia’s last railway ferry to Crimea was destroyed in April, and oil terminals on the southern coast have been hit multiple times in recent drone strikes.
- Crimea serves as the primary logistical hub for southern Ukraine operations, and isolating it could hobble Russian advances amid Ukrainian counterattacks.
- In response, Russian authorities banned nighttime moped use in Crimea, claiming the engines confuse anti-drone defenses, and imposed other restrictions amid growing desperation.
- Ukraine struck yet another railway bridge over the North Crimean Canal just this morning, further tightening the logistics lockdown.
- While not an immediate threat to Russian control, the sustained pressure suggests Putin may need dramatic action to prevent Crimea from becoming a strategic liability and embarrassment for the Kremlin.
