乌克兰军队近期在亚速海及黑海地区 intensified（加强）了对俄罗斯船只的无人机袭击，重点打击向被占领克里米亚输送燃料的海上补给线 [1]。乌方声称过去四天内至少 25 艘船只被击中起火，其中包括多艘隶属于俄罗斯“影子舰队”的油轮 [1]。乌克兰无人机部队指挥官 Robert Brovdi 表示，在过去四天内在亚速海至少有 25 艘船只遭到攻击并引发火灾 [1]。
针对具体袭击目标，乌军总参谋部发布的视频显示，海军无人机在克里米亚附近海域（靠近雅尔塔）袭击了一艘名为 Blue 的受制裁油轮 [1]。俄罗斯罗斯托夫州州长 Yuri Slyusar 证实，7 月 3 日塔甘罗格湾有两艘空油轮遭到攻击 [1]。Brovdi 指出，本周早些时候被袭击的两艘油轮每艘载有约 7,000 吨燃料，从塔甘罗格地区运往克里米亚 [1]。
这一系列行动旨在切断克里米亚的后勤供应，加剧了俄罗斯国内的燃料短缺危机 [1]。此前，俄罗斯总统普京曾估计克里米亚每月燃料需求为 70,000 吨，并承诺通过陆海两路保障供应 [1]。目前俄罗斯超过 90% 的地区出现燃料配给或短缺，并已禁止柴油出口 [1]。
Ukrainian forces have intensified drone attacks against Russian vessels in the Sea of Azov and Black Sea over recent days, targeting maritime supply lines delivering fuel to occupied Crimea [1]. According to Robert Brovdi, commander of Ukrainian drone units, at least 25 ships were hit and set ablaze within this four-day period in the Sea of Azov alone [1]. The attacks aim to sever logistical support for the peninsula and exacerbate a domestic fuel shortage crisis in Russia [1].
Specific incidents include footage released by Ukraine's General Staff showing naval drones striking an oil tanker named "Blue" near Yalta, Crimea [1]. Brovdi noted that two tankers attacked earlier this week were each carrying approximately 7,000 tonnes of fuel destined for Crimea from the Taganrog region [1]. Russian Rostov Oblast Governor Yuri Slyusar confirmed on July 3 that two empty oil tankers in the Bay of Taganrog came under attack [1].
These strikes occur against a backdrop where President Vladimir Putin has estimated monthly fuel requirements for Crimea at 70,000 tonnes and pledged to secure supplies via both land and sea routes [1]. Currently, more than 90% of Russian regions are experiencing fuel rationing or shortages, prompting an export ban on diesel [1].
