Meanwhile, the situation for Russian forces in southern Ukraine risks deteriorating sharply. Ukrainian forces have increased the range of their guided drones significantly, in some cases extending it up to 100 km. Near Berdyansk, at roughly this distance, a rear supply convoy was destroyed. Similar strikes have increased sharply across the entire former Ukrainian territory. At the same time, the strikes have focused on supply tankers and trucks. By fall 2026, this will lead to the complete paralysis of [[logistics]] from the [[Kharkiv]] region to [[Crimea]], which will make continuing hostilities impossible. | Meanwhile, the situation for Russian forces in southern Ukraine risks deteriorating sharply.
