Ukraine's War on the Bridge: Why Crimea Has Become Russia's Achilles' Heel
Ukraine has stopped treating Crimea as untouchable Russian turf and started treating it as Russia's most exploitable weakness.

Ukraine is aiming at the one piece of geography Russia can least afford to lose and least afford to admit is vulnerable. Whether this accelerates peace talks or hardens Moscow's resolve depends entirely on how a humiliated Kremlin chooses to respond—and that response is far from predictable.
