Episode Details

Russians in occupied Crimea are facing fuel shortages, power outages, transportation problems, and growing fear as Ukrainian strikes continue to hit the logistics network that keeps the peninsula supplied. With bridges damaged, gas stations running dry, queues to leave Crimea reportedly reaching thousands of vehicles, and Russian-installed authorities declaring a state of emergency, the situation is becoming harder for Moscow to hide. Ukraine may not need to storm Crimea directly if it can isolate it, choke off supplies, and make the occupation impossible to sustain.
