The new strategy seems to have already produced significant results.
In late May, Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence launched a new program called “Logistics Lockdown”.
According to a press release, the initiative is dedicated to systematically destroying Russian supply lines, warehouses, logistics hubs, command posts, and more.
The idea is to cut Russian forces off from supplies, making it nearly impossible for them to launch new offensives — and perhaps even forcing them to retreat because of the lack of supplies.
According to information from the ATESH partisan group, the Ukrainian strategy is working.
Undercover agent leaks retreat
ATESH reported on June 8 that Kremlin forces had started pulling out of the Kinburn Spit after their supply routes completely collapsed.
An undercover agent working inside Russia’s Dnepr military headquarters leaked the intelligence. Without a steady flow of food, fuel, and ammunition, front-line troops simply could not hold out any longer.
Heavy casualties and relentless drone attacks have left the remaining forces scattered and vulnerable. The underground group explained that the Russian military had already moved some troops to other fronts, leaving the peninsula dangerously understaffed.
“Only the remnants of units remain on the spit, and they are no longer capable of maintaining a defense. The occupiers’ logistical system in this sector has completely broken down,” ATESH said in a statement on Telegram.
Chaos behind the lines
The logistical nightmare extends far beyond the immediate front lines. In Saint Petersburg, the same partisan group claimed responsibility for a brazen sabotage operation that crippled a vital oil train.
Operatives reportedly sneaked into a transport hub and set fire to a diesel locomotive used for moving petroleum products. According to ATESH, this attack directly targeted a railway network that is already running at full capacity, threatening to delay crucial industrial fuel deliveries.
Meanwhile, internal disasters are also weakening Russian ranks in other sectors. Ukrainian military intelligence recently intercepted phone calls revealing a strange and deadly incident among troops stationed in the Zaporizhzhia region.
A massive alcohol poisoning outbreak reportedly killed multiple soldiers at an observation post. In the intercepted audio, one soldier claimed that around eight to ten bodies sat unevacuated at the site for nearly a week.
