Russia-Ukraine War 2026: Ukraine cuts into Crimea's supply spineBackground
Armyansk is a city of ~25,000 at the base of the Perekop Isthmus in northern Crimea, on the main road corridor connecting Crimea to the Russian mainland. It hosts the Crimean Titan chemical plant.
After Ukraine's Code 9.2 drone unit struck the Chonhar Bridge on 7 June 2026, all Crimea-bound traffic was rerouted via Armyansk, adding ~130km to Russian supply runs. By that date petrol rationing had fallen to 20 litres per vehicle per week.
