Ukraine escalates Sea of Azov campaign, says 105 Russian vessels hit in eight days

Ukrainian forces say they have struck at least 105 Russian vessels in the Sea of Azov over eight days as part of a campaign to isolate Moscow-occupied Crimea, including ferries and tankers used to transport oil and evade sanctions. The ISW describes this as a new phase targeting seaborne fuel shipments and logistics, while Russia says it will seek alternative shipping routes and continue exports.
