Ukraine Sinks 104 Russian Tankers in One Week, Choking Oil Exports Through Crimea

Ukrainian forces sank 104 tankers and vessels in a single week that were attempting to export Russian oil or carry foreign fuel through the Kerch Strait to Russia. The operation is part of Kyiv's broader strategy to cut Crimea off from Russia and choke Kremlin energy revenues. Newly announced US sanctions are expected to compound the financial blow to Moscow.
