Serhii Beskrestnov, a Ukrainian military technology and electronics expert, has warned that Russian occupation forces will face severe logistical problems this summer, particularly in occupied Crimea. According to him, Crimea may become isolated due to disrupted logistics. He echoed Ivan Fedorov, head of the Zaporizhzhia regional administration, urging residents to leave occupied territories, not only in Zaporizhzhia but also in parts of Kherson and Donetsk regions under Russian control.

Fedorov had previously called for evacuation from occupied parts of Zaporizhzhia, noting that the Russian army is deploying military facilities and logistics centers there. Occupiers had long considered Melitopol, Berdyansk, Enerhodar, and Henichesk as a safe rear area, but the situation is gradually changing.

Meanwhile, on the night of June 13, Ukrainian drones attacked the "Crimean Titan" plant in the city of Armyansk in occupied Crimea. Commander of the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces, Robert Brovdi, confirmed the strikes, stating that a fire broke out and production has been halted. According to local sources cited by Brovdi, 23 hits were recorded on the plant, which is now completely destroyed, and workers have been sent home. The "Crimean Titan" is the largest producer of sulfuric acid and titanium dioxide in Eastern Europe, supplying raw materials for gunpowder, rocket fuel, and explosives.
