Over the past week, Ukraine has dealt significant blows to Russian strategic reserves, destroying three large depots of missile and artillery weapons of the Russian army. According to the head of the Center for Strategic Studies under the National Security and Defense Council, Andriy Kovalenko, this is a new stage of the war, since strikes on such objects have long-term consequences for the aggressor's army.
This was reported by URA-Inform, citing Kovalenko's Telegram.
The representative of the National Security and Defense Council noted that previously, Ukrainian forces concentrated on destroying tactical-level depots in order to weaken Russian troops in certain areas of the front. However, now the priority has become strategic reserves aimed at supporting Russia's long-term campaign.
“Attacks on strategic reserves have much more profound consequences, destroying stockpiles designed for a long war,” Kovalenko said.
According to the expert, Ukraine's goal is to create a shortage of ammunition for the Russian occupation army. This could become a decisive factor in the conditions of a protracted war, since it will be difficult for the Russian Federation to conduct intensive military operations without sufficient supplies. Kovalenko also pointed out that Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to available information, plans to conduct military operations for at least another year, but such strikes could significantly undermine Russia's ability to continue the war at the same level of intensity.
Systematic attacks on key objects of Russian military infrastructure are aimed at depriving the aggressor of the ability to resist for a long time. These strikes could have a cumulative effect, making it extremely difficult for the Russian Federation to continue military operations.
A new statement from the Russian Federation on the Second Peace Summit has also recently appeared: the Foreign Ministry made it clear whether the war is ending.
