While the world counts the months of war, the front is moving more and more from trenches to fuel tanks. Overnight, Ukrainian drones hit Crimea and sparked a series of fires across the peninsula - not on barracks, but on the fuel, gas and electricity that keep the Russian machine running.

The target was logistics, not symbolism. According to available reports, the port of Kerch, the rail terminal for fuel and liquefied gas, the "Tavricheskaya" power plant, gas distribution stations and oil depots were all hit. Kerch is no random spot - it links maritime traffic, the railway and industrial zones with the territory under Russian control. When it burns there, an artery burns.

There's no official damage assessment yet, which is normal for strikes like these - both sides stay quiet until it suits them to speak. But the picture of "heavy fires across occupied Crimea" says enough. This isn't an incident, it's part of a strategy: if you can't beat the enemy on the front line, hit their fuel and leave them stranded.

For us in the Balkans this isn't just distant news. Every strike on energy infrastructure in this part of the world shakes the fuel and electricity prices that we pay too, even though we're a thousand kilometres from Kerch. The war stopped being only theirs long ago - the bill lands at our address as well, just with a slight delay.
