Ukraine is determined to de facto turn the occupied peninsula of Crimea into an island. On Sunday morning, Kyiv's drones attacked the ports on both sides of the Kerch bridge, the last secure route between Russia and this territory, causing the death of five people and injuring about thirty more. They also hit a ferry and forced the suspension of ship traffic through the strait until further notice. The Ukrainian army's effort to completely isolate Crimea is causing an unprecedented fuel crisis that has pushed local authorities to ban the sale of gasoline and leave the peninsula practically paralyzed. A siege that has also led to emptying supermarket shelves and a surge in cancellations of tourist reservations just at the start of the summer season.
