Russian Propagandists Panic Over Land Corridor To Crimea

The supply of the occupants in the southern directions is completely disrupted.

Ukrainian forces have intensified strikes on the logistics of Russian troops in southern Ukraine, effectively disrupting the supply of occupation groups in Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions, as well as on the approaches to Crimea. This is reported by Russian propaganda and military Telegram channels.

It is noted that the key land artery of the Russian Federation - the Rostov-Dzhankoy highway, which is used for the transfer of equipment, fuel and cargo to the occupied territories - has come under fire control. Traffic paralysis is reported on some parts of the route, insider.ua writes.

It is also noted that the AFU's strikes are increasingly hitting trucks, gasoline tankers, warehouses and transport convoys that supply the Russian army in the southern direction. This is already affecting not only military logistics, but also civilian supplies.

The land corridor to Crimea

Occupation administration on the ground, including Vladimir Saldo, has imposed restrictions on truck traffic. Against this background, Russian military publics criticize the local authorities and accuse them of ineffective management of the situation.

Propaganda channels report that the occupied territories are experiencing shortages of certain goods and outages of fuel, which is sold with restrictions. Thus, logistical problems are already affecting the daily life of the population.

"In the southern regions of Russia, the situation is developing in an increasingly threatening manner. Ukrainian formations since the beginning of May have significantly increased the number of drone strikes on vehicles carrying various cargoes to the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions and Crimea. There is a threat of shortages of some goods on the peninsula, and fuel is being sold with restrictions," a major Russian propaganda channel wrote.

In addition, it is emphasized that strikes on transportation infrastructure could affect the combat effectiveness of Russian troops in the south and complicate their supply.

"The threat lies not only in the disruption of the holiday season in Crimea or shortages of certain products on the peninsula. Strikes on cargo carriers on the peninsula directly affect the combat capabilities of the Russian Armed Forces on the southern fronts, where the situation is already not cloudless," the propagandists write.

A Ukrainian Armed Forces officer Igor Lutsenko wrote on Facebook that the land corridor to Crimea is officially under Ukrainian fire control, and the Russians have recognized this.

"Crimea is now turning into a 'logistical island' for the Russians. The newly built highway from Russian territory to Dzhankoy was closed by "Governor" Saldo with his written order. "Dozens of gasoline tankers and trucks burned by Ukrainian drones are reported". The restriction does not apply to military cargoes, special cargoes, certain socially important essential food products," he said.

Lutsenko added that the main potential achievement for Moscow in the course of a full-scale invasion of Ukraine to date, the Russians could consider it was the creation of a land corridor to Crimea.

"It is now clear that this achievement is ephemeral, the reality is blue and yellow drones are already over the corridor, civilians are forbidden to go. Crimea is becoming an overseas territory for Russia," Lutsenko added.
