According to Ukrainian Defense Intelligence (GUR) cited by L’Independent, Ukrainian special forces carried out an operation that disabled two Russian logistics vessels. The ships, identified as Slavyanin and Avangard, were reportedly used to transport weapons, ammunition and military equipment. Both vessels played a role in transport operations across the Kerch Strait, which connects the Sea of Azov with the Black Sea. The ships were used in a ferry system linking mainland Russia with the occupied Crimean peninsula. This route has become particularly important as Russia attempts to maintain logistical support for its forces in southern Ukraine. Among the two vessels, the Slavyanin is considered especially important. The ship is one of the few rail ferries capable of transporting train cars across the Kerch Strait. This allowed Russia to move fuel, ammunition and heavy military equipment by rail between the Russian port of Kavkaz and Crimea.
