With vital supply lines being slowly choked and nonstop drone strikes, Vladimir Putin is struggling to maintain his grip on Crimea.
We analyse how this strategic peninsula became the high-stakes centrepiece of the entire conflict.
Foreign correspondent Gergana Krasteva sits down with Russian military expert Keir Giles to decode the methodical campaign to strangle the occupied peninsula.
Since the first year of the full-scale invasion, Ukraine has been working to cut the peninsula off from Russia while decimating critical infrastructure.
In War Files, The Sun’s new YouTube show, Keir Giles detailed this “slow” – but “steady and methodical” – process to influence an end to the carnage.
An expert on the Russian military, Giles admitted that this siege has been a long time coming.
