Ukraine is restricting access to Crimea, affecting routes by land, sea, and air. This has resulted in a shortage of fuel in the peninsula. The situation is impacting areas far from the front lines, including the R-280 Novorrosiya highway.

Until recently, this highway was an important route. Further information about the situation in Crimea and its impact on the region can be found in reports from El País, including details about the effects on surrounding areas and the ongoing situation in the occupied zone of Jerson.
