As a result of Ukraine’s “long-range sanctions,” panic is mounting in the temporarily occupied Crimea.

This is evidenced by a conversation intercepted by specialists from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (GUR), according to Ukrinform.

In the recording, a resident of Armiansk describes the catastrophic situation on the occupied peninsula.

The Main Intelligence Directorate emphasizes that Ukraine continues to carry out systematic military operations against legitimate targets on the territory of the aggressor country, particularly against oil refineries.

The result of Ukraine’s “long-range sanctions” is a sharp decline in exports of oil and petroleum products from Russia, and consequently, a reduction in the Kremlin’s revenue for its genocidal war against Ukraine.

Moscow disregards the civilian population in order to meet the massive needs of its occupying army. As a result, fuel shortages have emerged at gas stations in a number of regions of the Russian Federation, as well as in the territories it has temporarily occupied.

The Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) reiterates that the occupying country bears full responsibility for the situation in the occupied territories, so improvements there are possible only after complete liberation from the invaders.

As reported by Ukrinform, Robert “Madyar” Brovdi, commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces, stated that Ukraine may isolate the temporarily occupied Crimea in the near future.
