For discussion, let’s assume this plays out as stated and Russian forces do have to retreat to Crimea. Doesn’t Ukraine have the ability to cut them off by destroying the main Kerch bridge?

A June PDF brief from International Centre for Defence and Security (ICDS) highlighting Russia's preference for push logistics (decisions made from centralized command with predetermined burn rates) as opposed to pull logistics (as needed in the field). Granted, the Kerch bridge is important, but Crimea has the ports.

Russia has made expeditionary errors, aka multiple fronts and related logistical difficulties, but you'd think they would learn from those mistakes.

I'm not a supply chain expert, but I would think a defense focused solely on Crimea would simplify their logistics tail.
