Ukraine’s Sea of Azov strategy shifts war momentum

A quiet but significant shift is happening in the war between Ukraine and Russia. Military analysts say Ukraine is now gaining the upper hand in the Sea of Azov, a key waterway that Russia has controlled since early in the invasion. The Sea of Azov connects to the Black Sea and is vital for trade and military movement. For months, Russia used it to block Ukrainian ports and launch attacks. But recent Ukrainian operations have disrupted Russian supply lines and reduced its naval presence in the area. Experts say this campaign has not received the attention it deserves. While famous battles often dominate headlines, the steady pressure in the Sea of Azov may prove more important in the long run. If Ukraine can fully shut down Russian access, it could change the course of the war. The situation remains fluid, but the trend is clear: Ukraine is turning the tide in a region that was once a Russian stronghold.
