Ukraine reports advances and cuts Russian logistics to Crimea

Ukrainian forces said they are pushing forward against Russian troops, highlighting moves that could threaten Russian supply routes to Crimea. Video analysis shows drones striking the Chongar bridge and Russian logistics collapsing from three to two main roads—through Armyansk or Henichesk—while the narrow Armyansk corridor remains vulnerable to further attacks. Additional strikes hit gas stations in Skadovsk, Pavlohrad and other locations, disrupting fuel supplies. Pro‑Ukrainian sources claim Russian forces are withdrawing from the Kinburn Spit, a potential bridgehead that could combine with the Aleshki area for a new front line, though Russia disputes the report. Ukraine has attempted three landings on the spit since June 1, all reportedly repelled. Meanwhile, Ukrainian generals announced battlefield advances, and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he had “positive” talks with U.S. envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff.

These developments underscore a shift in the war’s dynamics, with Ukraine aiming to pressure Russian logistics in Crimea while seeking to expand footholds on the southern front.
