Tensions in occupied Crimea are escalating once again, as the forces of Ukraine intensify their operations against critical military and logistical infrastructure that supports the Russian presence in the region. According to information from the field, key transportation and supply hubs were targeted, resulting in serious disruptions to the operation of local networks. This development is part of a broader context of increased pressure on the forces of Russia on the southern front, where Kyiv is attempting to systematically weaken their military infrastructure and their ability to rapidly deploy resources.
Specifically, the Ukrainian army proceeded on Tuesday to destroy a railway line in Northern Crimea.
The announcement
As stated in its announcement, the strike on the canal in the region is of crucial importance, as it served as a strategic military and logistical base used by Russian forces.
The Ukrainian Special Operations Forces also reported on the Telegram app that they carried out two attacks on the bridge near the village of Rozdolne in occupied Crimea, in cooperation with members of the resistance operating on the peninsula.
Videos already circulating online capture the moment of the operation.
Ukraine has intensified its attacks on Russian-occupied areas in the south and in Crimea, aiming to disrupt Moscow’s supply chain.
Putin: Ukraine is trying to destabilize society
Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Ukraine is attacking non-military infrastructure in Russia in an effort to destabilize society.
Ukraine’s attacks on oil refineries have doubled since early 2026, resulting in long lines and rising gasoline prices in some areas. Kyiv has stated that its goal is to cut off a key source of funding for Russia’s war and to show Russians that the conflict is no longer a distant one.
Speaking to graduates of military and security service academies, Putin stated that he sees no basis for direct talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy given the attacks, which, he said, are directed against civilian targets.
“The attacks on non-military infrastructure—what is their goal? To destabilize society in the midst of such a massive offensive, when the entire West is working on their behalf and these drones are arriving in huge numbers, in order to create a climate of uncertainty regarding the actions of the Russian armed forces,” he emphasized during his televised speech to the graduates.
Putin also stated that Russian forces are close to taking control of Kostyantivka, the southern tip of the so-called “fortress zone” in the Donetsk region, which Moscow has demanded that Kyiv hand over.
