Episode Details

Ukraine carried out a coordinated overnight strike campaign targeting Russian logistics around the Kerch Strait, hitting fuel terminals, oil infrastructure, ferry facilities, and even S-400 and Pantsir air defense systems positioned near or on the Kerch Bridge itself. Rather than destroying the bridge, Ukraine appears focused on isolating Crimea and making it increasingly difficult for Russia to supply the peninsula. At the same time, Ukrainian long-range strike capabilities continue to expand, with reports of 3,000-kilometer-range drones reaching deep into Russia. Meanwhile, Russia launched more than 100 drones and multiple ballistic missiles against Ukraine, causing civilian casualties across several regions. The bigger story, however, may be what happens next: fuel restrictions, transportation bottlenecks, and mounting economic pressure inside occupied Crimea.
