Ukraine Hammers Russia’s Land Corridor to Crimea

HUR said the strikes hit fuel tankers, trucks and a trailer as Ukraine tries to disrupt Russia’s main southern supply artery.

  • Main Intelligence Directorate drone teams struck Russian fuel tankers and trucks on the supply corridor connecting Crimea to Russian-held Donetsk Oblast, with HUR releasing footage showing burning vehicles near Mariupol, Berdiansk, and Melitopol.
  • Russian forces carved out the Crimea-Donetsk corridor along the Azov Sea coast in 2022, establishing Moscow's main southern supply artery linking occupied Crimea to Russian-held Donetsk Oblast through Mariupol, Berdiansk, and Melitopol.
  • The Serhii Prytula Charitable Foundation's "Shchelepy" project provided Ukrainian-made Shark-M reconnaissance wings to disrupt logistics on the Zaporizhzhia axis, enabling The Shark to fly roughly 60 kilometers behind enemy lines to spot targets.
  • Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov announced Ukraine launched a "Logistics Lockdown" program to scale strikes on Russian supply chains, tying the effort to a measurable drop in Russian assaults at the contact line.
  • Drone teams across the General Staff, the Unmanned Systems Forces , and HUR systematically degrade Russian logistics sites over the past year, now striking Russian logistics 120 kilometers behind the lines using UAV systems.
