In response, authorities in the Russian-controlled region have declared a state of emergency, admitting they're facing challenging times. This week, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the start of what he called a 40-day 'influence operation' to push Russia to end the war.
But can Kyiv's broader strategy successfully end the conflict? And why is Crimea at the centre of this shift?
