🇺🇦🎯 Intense and massive strikes using medium-range kamikaze drones have completely paralyzed the Russian land corridor passing through the occupied southern regions of Ukraine. ▪️ Ukraine’s medium-range strike campaign has effectively become an operation to isolate the battlefield, which is already severely disrupting Russian logistics in southern Ukraine. On... May 21, the head of the occupation administration of Kherson region, Vladimir Saldo, signed a decree banning the movement of civilian cargo vehicles on certain sections of the R-280 “Novorossiya” highway (occupiers renamed it M-14 Mariupol – Berdiansk – Melitopol – Henichesk highway). ▪️ The M-14 is the main artery connecting Russia with occupied Crimea. The ban on civilian traffic is, in fact, an admission that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have the land corridor under fire control. Permissions are now issued only for military transport and essential goods, which further emphasizes the scale of the problem. ▪️ The consequences are already being felt in Crimea. Due to the systematic destruction of fuel tankers, there is a fuel shortage on the peninsula. Gas stations have introduced limits — 20 liters per person. Civilian infrastructure in the rear is suffering from fuel shortages while resources are prioritized for the front line. ▪️ Geolocation footage from recent days confirms the reason for these decisions: Ukrainian forces are destroying Russian military cargo trucks on both the M-14 and the N-20 Mariupol – Donetsk highways. 🇷🇺 Russian military bloggers (“voenkors”) have already criticized this decision. Previously, Russian military convoys hid among civilian trucks and used them as human shields against Ukrainian aerial reconnaissance. ▪️ Now everything has changed. An empty M-14 highway means that any large truck is automatically considered a military target, as they carry either ammunition, fuel, or personnel. The task has become extremely simplified for drone operators and artillery. ▪️ This is a classic asymmetric war of attrition. Strikes within a 150-kilometer radius from the front line are forcing the Russians to make losing decisions. ▪️ To reduce losses from Ukrainian AI-equipped drones, Russia will have to abandon large fuel tankers and truck convoys. Switching to small, dispersed transport groups will significantly slow down ammunition delivery to the front line and dramatically increase logistics costs. Redirecting civilian cargo to secondary roads will create traffic jams, limiting the maneuverability of Russian reserves if the situation on the front changes. The shortage of fuel and ammunition, which are being destroyed en route, is already slowing down Russian offensives. While the Russian command tries to reorganize its supply tactics, the key arteries of their southern grouping continue to burn. Video is generated by grok AIshow more
