Summary
At an operational meeting, Vladimir Putin told Russia’s government and Defence Ministry to cut the consequences of Ukrainian attacks on Crimea’s infrastructure “to zero.”
Putin said the strikes are aimed at disrupting the tourist season in occupied Crimea and creating energy-supply problems, assigning the main response to the military and other security agencies.
Ukrainian pressure on the peninsula has intensified: Kyiv has said Crimea could soon be isolated by drone attacks, and Special Operations Forces recently destroyed a railway bridge over the North Crimean Canal near Rozdolne.
The order underscores mounting strain on Russian-controlled logistics and fuel supplies as Ukrainian strikes continue to hit refineries in Russia and occupied territories.
