Ukraine intensifies strikes on Russian logistics, crippling oil output and fuel supplies
Story Timeline
11 months · 11 summary articles
Ukrainian forces struck a Russian shadow fleet tanker in the Black Sea overnight, breached a key logistics route into occupied Crimea, and hit multiple military command posts, intensifying a campaign that has slashed Moscow’s oil output and triggered fuel shortages across 53 regions. The General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces said the *Fina A*, a tanker subject to EU, Swiss, UK, Canadian and Ukrainian sanctions, was struck in the Black Sea, while bridges over the North Crimean Canal in Kherson region and drone control stations were also targeted .
The strikes follow a sustained Ukrainian push against Russian logistics, with the military intelligence agency HUR releasing video evidence of attacks on fuel and ammunition depots supplying Moscow’s forces in occupied territories . Ukraine’s Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said Crimea would soon become an island as logistics routes are severed, creating “hell for the Russians” .
The economic toll is mounting. The International Energy Agency reported Russian oil output fell 10% below target in May as a direct result of Ukrainian strikes on refining capacity . In response, Russian Railways has set up an emergency task force to maintain fuel supplies to 53 regions amid worsening shortages . For the first time in years, Moscow is preparing to import gasoline by sea from Asia to offset refinery damage .
Civilian casualties mounted elsewhere. A Ukrainian drone strike on a bus carrying a Belarusian youth soccer team in Russia’s Bryansk region killed one woman and injured six, including children . Meanwhile, Russian forces launched 1,065 strikes across Ukraine’s Donetsk region over 24 hours, killing four civilians and injuring 17, while damaging 166 civilian facilities .
The escalation underscores a widening asymmetry: Ukraine is systematically degrading Russia’s war machine through precision strikes on fuel, ammunition and transport links, while Russia’s retaliatory strikes on Ukrainian energy and logistics continue to exact a heavy toll on civilians. With both sides digging in, the coming weeks are likely to see further pressure on Moscow’s supply chains and deeper humanitarian impact across frontline regions.
