Ukraine’s destruction of Russian supply lines has forced the Kremlin’s military logistics corps into modifying heavy fuel tankers to look like civilian milk trucks to slip past Ukrainian reconnaissance. The fuel disguise in the land corridor Speaking during a national telethon, Dmytro Pletenchuk, a representative for the Ukrainian Navy, detailed the effectiveness of Ukraine’s ongoing “logistics lockdown” of the occupied Crimean Peninsula. When asked how systematically the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are disrupting transport routes through the occupied Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, Pletenchuk affirmed the campaign has been highly disruptive.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. The interdiction made Russian forces implementing masking techniques to protect fuel convoys moving along mainland highways. “It has reached the point where they are already constructing false superstructures over fuel trucks, disguising them as civilian cars,” Pletenchuk revealed. “We have information that they have begun using vehicles intended for transporting food products – for example, milk tankers – to move fuel.” This shift to covert, civilian-disguised convoys is driven by a lack of alternative heavy transport options. Pletenchuk noted that the Russian military still refuses to risk moving heavy fuel trains across the Kerch Strait (Crimea) Bridge. Furthermore, the alternative maritime ferry crossings – which the Kremlin previously relied upon to bypass the bridge – remain unusable due to structural damage sustained during recent Ukrainian missile strikes.
