Ukrainian Special Operations Forces have intensified their long-range strike campaign against Russian logistics, targeting critical fuel infrastructure deep behind enemy lines. According to official reports, recent drone strikes hit the Semikolodezjanska oil depot—located roughly 200 kilometers from the front line—and the oil terminal at the Feodosia port, both of which serve as essential nodes for supplying Russian forces in occupied territories.
Logistics Under Fire: The Impact on Fuel Supply
The strikes on the Semikolodezjanska depot specifically targeted a facility critical to the Russian military’s operational capacity. According to the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces, this site stores diesel, bitumen, and other fuels across nine storage tanks ranging from 700 to 3,000 cubic meters in capacity. The facility is used to fill rail tankers that are then moved across Crimea to support Russian troops.
By disrupting these transit points, Ukrainian forces aim to complicate the Kremlin’s ability to sustain its frontline units. The Feodosia port terminal, which features seven storage tanks with capacities between 10,000 and 20,000 cubic meters, provides a secondary, high-volume target. Ukrainian officials state that the terminal functions as a multifunctional complex for transferring fuel from rail to ships, acting as a vital emergency supply line for occupied Crimea.
The Semikolodezjanska oil depot is situated approximately 200 kilometers from the active front line, demonstrating the increasing reach of Ukrainian drone operations against fixed infrastructure targets.
Why Targeting Infrastructure Matters
The strategic focus on oil depots and transportation links, such as the Chongar Bridge, serves a clear purpose: isolating the battlefield. As noted by reports from June 7, 2026, the Chongar Bridge—a vital link connecting Crimea to the southern frontline—has been targeted by drones, including “Behemoth” and “FP-2” models. By simultaneously attacking fuel depots and transit bridges, the Ukrainian military is creating a bottleneck for Russian logistics that is difficult to repair quickly.
This approach stands in contrast to localized frontline skirmishes. While infantry battles determine immediate territorial control, the destruction of fuel storage and transport hubs forces the Russian military to reroute supplies, increasing the time and risk involved in every delivery to the front.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of fuel facilities are being targeted?
Ukrainian forces are targeting oil depots and port terminals, such as the Semikolodezjanska depot and the Feodosia port terminal, which store diesel and other petroleum products used to fuel Russian military operations.
How far are these strikes from the front line?
Some strikes, such as the one at the Semikolodezjanska oil depot, have occurred at distances of approximately 200 kilometers from the front line.
Why are these specific targets chosen?
These facilities are used to supply and transport fuel to Russian troops in occupied regions. Attacking them disrupts the supply chain, making it harder for Russian forces to maintain their combat effectiveness.
