The Ukrainian Armed Forces are striking at targets that are sensitive to Putin: the dictator will face an important question Petro Sineoky

The Ukrainian Defense Forces regularly strike military facilities that are important to the Russians. This creates problems for dictator Putin that he will have to solve.

Military analyst Yan Matveyev told Channel 24 about this. In his opinion, as of now, Ukraine has accumulated a large number of long-range drones and missiles for truly massive strikes. For example, on the night of January 14, there were reports of about 200 air targets on Russian territory.

How does this affect Russia

As Matveyev noted, long-range strikes against Russia are a means of military pressure. It is clear that it is unlikely that it will be possible to cause a colossal shortage of gasoline or diesel fuel in the aggressor country. However, strike after strike creates problems for the occupiers.

All these fires consume manpower and repair capabilities. The same oil refining systems cannot always be completely replaced. Western components are needed there. This is an expense of money and infrastructure. Some plant could produce specific fuel for the army. They need to get it from somewhere. Therefore, logistics have to be rebuilt, – said Matveyev.

< p > Long-range strikes on Russia are also an element of political pressure on Putin so that he becomes more accommodating. They cannot completely change the situation with the war in Ukraine. But together with other elements of pressure, it is quite possible to influence the dictator. He will have to find an answer to an unpleasant question.

< p class = "bloquote cke-markup" > Putin and his government will be faced with the question of whether to continue fighting in conditions when oil depots burn every 1-2 weeks or not ? It is constantly burning. More strikes are coming. Repairs need to be made, money needs to be spent. Or there is a peace agreement – ​​and everything stops, – Matveyev emphasized.

Recall that in Engels, an oil depot has been burning for the fourth day after the drone attack that occurred on January 14. According to some reports, tanks with aviation fuel for Tu-160 bombers are burning there.
