Russia has increasing difficulties with logistics due to the Crimean bridge damage.
Tuesday, October 18, 2022
It is increasingly difficult for Russia to supply its troops in the south of Ukraine due to the consequences of the Crimean bridge sabotage. “Restoration work is ongoing, the bridge is partially open to traffic, but many trucks are still waiting in line to cross,” a review from British intelligence services notes. For the needs of Russian Forces in the south of Ukraine, most likely, they are increasing the amount of supplies sent by land through Mariupol to compensate for the problem with the Crimean bridge. Intelligence notes that this route is becoming more and more important for the Russians given the fact that there are many troops in the Kherson direction, and supplies through Crimea have become more difficult.
