Ukraine targets Crimean supply lines

Webcafé sees this as a strategic move by Ukraine:

“The land link in the north, which is under constant fire, the closed ferry service across the Kerch Strait and the blocked Kerch Bridge mean that around 2.4 million people in Crimea are living under extremely difficult economic conditions. Key sectors, such as agriculture, fisheries, retail and, above all, summer tourism, are particularly hard hit. … Ukraine is thus weakening the entire southern front without having to directly break through Russia’s fortified positions in Kherson or Zaporizhzhia. If Moscow fails to counter this strategy, Kyiv could use the Crimean crisis to strengthen its negotiating position in future peace talks.”
