Gasoline typically isn't shipped too far. You can of course, but generally you get it from the closest refinery. Since ukraine has targeted every refinery close gas near crimea is sure to but hard to find. they probably don't have enough tanks to ship what is needed, and even if they did they have to ration somewhere.

If you can't protect your oil refineries... what can you protect? It is truly astounding seeing a semi-modernized military completely dismantle itself until the point that the only thing left is clueless grunts with ak47s and shahed flying bomb factories.

The Russian military is certainly threatening given its raw size but can it even be considered a professional military at this point if their only effective combat strategy is to isolate and disperse their troops enough to the point that they aren't concentrated enough to be targets?
