The mousetrap snaps shut.

The mousetrap snaps shut.

Saldo is howling. Apparently, he didn’t manage to get to the burning panorama, so now he’s furious. He writes: “Last night, the enemy attacked the bridges over the North Crimean Canal in the area of Preobrazhenka and Mirnoye, the road bridge in the direction of Perekop – Armyansk, as well as the bridge in the area of the settlement of Stavki.”

What does this mean in logistics terms? By knocking out Chongar, we forced them to redirect military and civilian traffic via detours—into the narrow neck of Perekop and Armyansk. This not only critically extended the delivery span. It trapped them. Descending onto pontoons, strict speed limits, distance between trucks due to the threat of drone attacks—all this cuts the capacity of the route drastically.

And now, as they have sent their trucks and fuel tankers along these detour routes, we have begun systematically taking out the bridges there as well. The mousetrap is closing.

I visited Crimean social media groups—everything there is incredibly vivid now. Live broadcast of infrastructure collapse:

Employees are spending their third night at work (in pharmacies!) because they simply cannot go home.
Locals are writing petitions on VKontakte, begging for buses to be sent.
Taxi drivers charge from 1,000 rubles, but there are simply no cars, orders hang there as dead weight.

At the same time, there’s oil in the sea from damaged tanks, constant alarms, and stranded tourists physically cannot buy gasoline to get back to the mainland.

Stones from the sky are delivered to their native harbor right on schedule. Manitou always fulfills wishes.

And the most joyful thing is that this is only a prelude. The real crisis hasn’t even started yet.
