Ukraine Reports Record Russian Casualties as Crimea Faces Fuel Crisis
Ukraine's General Staff reported that Russian forces sustained 1,560 casualties over the past 24 hours, one of the highest daily totals in recent months. Simultaneously, authorities in occupied Crimea have been forced to implement fuel rationing and 'fuel vouchers' for civilians. These measures follow successful Ukrainian strikes against Russian oil infrastructure and supply lines on the peninsula. The combination of high personnel losses and logistical strain indicates increasing pressure on Russian military operations in the southern theater.
