Reasoning:

• Multiple independent news outlets report that Russia is camouflaging fuel trucks as civilian vehicles, specifically milk tankers, to transport fuel to Russian-occupied Crimea¹²³.
• Ukrainian Navy spokesperson Dmytro Pletenchuk stated that Russian forces are constructing false superstructures over fuel trucks to disguise them as civilian vehicles, and that they have begun using vehicles intended for food products—such as milk tankers—to move fuel³¹.
• This tactic is being employed because Ukraine is systematically striking Russian military logistics vehicles along the land corridors through occupied Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, while the Kerch Strait Bridge remains closed to fuel tankers and alternative maritime ferry crossings are heavily damaged³¹.
• The specific purpose of this disguise is to evade Ukrainian drone surveillance and strikes so that the fuel convoys can successfully traverse the embattled highways and reach Crimea²¹.
