Ukrainian drones disabled power in Russian-held Sevastopol on June 24, continuing strikes on Crimean infrastructure. Each attack chips away at Moscow's claim that the 2014 annexation was justified and legitimate. With conventional warfare limits, Ukraine is using targeted infrastructure damage—visible, costly for the Kremlin—to shape any future peace negotiations. The signal is clear: Crimea remains off the table.
