Ukraine strikes eight Russian shadow fleet tankersshadow fleet tankers near Crimea
Ukrainian drones struck eight Russian tankers from the shadow fleet delivering fuel to Crimea overnight on July 7, Kyiv's military said on Tuesday.
The strikes aim to isolate the Russian-occupied peninsula by disrupting key supply lines for fuel and ammunition. This operation matters as it escalates Ukraine's mounting effort to cut off Russia's logistical support in the occupied region.
Ukrainian Perspective
Ukrainian military officials state that striking the shadow fleet tankers is a legitimate operation to disrupt Russian naval logistics and isolate the occupied Crimea peninsula from fuel and ammunition supplies needed for troops.
