Ukraine cuts into Crimea's supply spine
Russia-Ukraine War 2026Background
The T-22-09 corridor is Russia's overland supply route from occupied Donbas through Zaporizhzhia and Kherson oblasts to Crimea, opened in March 2022 after Russia seized a contiguous land bridge. It runs through Melitopol and Henichesk, supplementing the Kerch Bridge as Crimea's logistics spine.
ISW assessed in June 2026 that Ukraine achieved drone fire control over the T-22-09 corridor following Code 9.2's Chonhar Bridge strike on 7 June and sustained drone pressure on supply convoys. Crimea rationed petrol to 20 litres per vehicle per week; food shortages in buckwheat, sugar, rice, and flour spread across the peninsula. Ukrainian Defence Minister Fedorov described the campaign as a "logistics lockdown."
