Ukraine strikes 201 vessels of Russia's shadow fleet in three weeks, cuts off Crimea's main supply route

Ukraine has reported significant success in its campaign against Russia's shadow fleet. In three weeks, Ukrainian forces struck 201 vessels that were supplying Crimea, effectively severing the peninsula's main logistical link.

The shadow fleet refers to ships used by Russia to circumvent international sanctions and continue transporting oil and other goods. Targeting these vessels is part of Ukraine's broader strategy to weaken Russia's ability to sustain its occupied territories.

This operation has crippled Crimea's supply chain. The peninsula, heavily dependent on maritime deliveries, is now largely isolated. Ukrainian officials emphasize that this is a crucial step toward regaining control over Crimea.
