Ukrainian forces conducted precision strikes on Russian military logistics and fuel assets in occupied territories during New Year’s Eve attacks on December 31, 2025. These operations disrupted key supply lines supporting Russian troops, including fuel storage and river transport bases in Crimea and Donetsk Oblast.
Eve Key Targets Hit in Coordinated Attacks
The Ukrainian General Staff reported “fire damage” to a temporary base for Russian river boats near Olenivka in occupied Crimea. Additional strikes destroyed ammunition and logistics depots in Donetsk Oblast, according to Special Operations Forces .
Unmanned Systems Forces struck a fuel and lubricant storage facility in occupied Rovenky, Luhansk Oblast—roughly 120 km from the frontline. These actions form part of Ukraine’s eve ongoing campaign to degrade Russian rear-area support and constrain resupply efforts.
Strategic Impact on Russian Operations
Disrupting fuel and transport nodes hampers Russian mobility and sustainment, especially in southern and eastern sectors. Analysts note such targeted hits force Moscow to reroute resources, stretching already strained logistics amid winter conditions.
This escalation coincides with intensified Russian drone and missile barrages on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, highlighting mutual efforts to weaken opponent capabilities heading into 2026.
