Ukraine war: Russian forces will soon be down to last supplies of fuel after Kerch Bridge attack, analysts say – By Dominic Waghorn (Sky News) / Oct 10, 2022
President Vladimir Putin will have hoped his missile onslaught across Ukraine today has projected an image of strength. They are being read in the West as quite the opposite. The act of an increasingly desperate commander running out of options.
Russian forces will soon be down to their last supplies of fuel and unable to transport their troops in Ukraine after the crippling attack on the Kerch Bridge between Crimea and Russia, say analysts.
“If we’re talking about the ability to manoeuvre, ie drive places, I think we are talking days into very short weeks of supply,” intelligence analyst Forbes McKenzie told Sky News.
Ukrainians have been degrading Russian logistics with artillery and well targeted HIMARS rocket attacks, but the Kerch Bridge attack has left Russians even more exposed.
They will soon be unable to move their troops, say observers, which will put them in huge difficulty if the Ukrainians continue advancing.
