The occupiers’ military infrastructure in Crimea continues to suffer from Ukrainian airstrikes, but they now face another problem. The fuel shortage on the peninsula is becoming evident. Sooner or later, the deficit will reach the army as well.
Dmytro Pletenchuk, spokesperson for the Ukrainian Navy, spoke about this during the national telethon “United News.”
According to him, the military infrastructure in Crimea is quite extensive — “they have something to defend, and we have something to strike.” However, against the backdrop of a large-scale fuel crisis in Russia, such size may turn into a problem. Despite the fact that there is currently no fleet on the peninsula consuming hundreds of tons of fuel daily, serious difficulties with fuel and logistics have already emerged there.
“There are problems with the use of the railway they built across the occupied territories of southern Ukraine. There were strikes there. As for driving tankers across the so-called Crimean Bridge — they don’t risk that either. Yes, fuel does appear in Crimea from time to time, but the deficit is being felt more and more. And, of course, the military will feel it as well. In any case, when your production drops by some amount — and we’re talking about roughly 25% — this is felt everywhere”, — the Navy spokesperson emphasized.
