When Tokmak is under fire control, Russian can no longer send supplies between Crimea and Donbass by rail, which in itself makes Crimea difficult to hold. If it is liberated, the Ukrainians will have broken through the main Russian defense lines, and they will have many options on how to proceed. There are no major natural obstacles from there on. They can cut south to the Azov sea, they can cut west to liberate Enerhodar and the rest of the Kherson province, they can cut SW through to Crimea west of Melitopol, they can surround Melitopol, etc, etc. All of these will cut off Crimea for car transport. With the new sea drones, Ukraine can establish naval supremacy around Crimea and blockade its ports, as well as permanently destroy the Kerch bridge.
This means that when Ukraine liberates Tokmak, the Russians will lose Crimea.
