## Resource

Ukraine’s military is intensifying strikes in Crimea, targeting critical infrastructure like bridges, power plants, and gas stations to isolate the Russian-held peninsula and disrupt supply lines. Using long-range drones, Ukraine aims to destabilize Russia and pressure the Kremlin, as Russian advances stall and gasoline sales to civilians have already been suspended. Ukrainian officials envision turning Crimea into an “island,” with potential ripple effects for Russia — a goal Putin acknowledges as a destabilizing tactic. Power outages hit parts of Crimea, blamed on technical issues, while safety concerns have canceled children’s events through September. These victories are fueling Ukrainian morale, with domestically made drones hitting over 800,000 targets this year — all while Ukraine remains open to peace, but with clear limits on compromise.
