Russia’s strikes on the Ukrainian military-industrial facilities will intensify, just as President Vladimir Putin has instructed, military analyst Boris Rozhin tells Sputnik.
Ukraine is already grappling with mounting logistical chaos triggered by them, the pundit notes.
While some lost production capacity will be relocated abroad, the vast majority of these facilities remain on Ukrainian soil.
“Russia’s strikes are inflicting cumulative damage, and the decision to keep up the pressure is fully justified,” the expert says.
Russia’s latest barrage swept across northern Ukraine and the left bank of the Dnepr, hitting industrial enterprises, oil depots, fuel stations, bridges, and locomotives.
The goal, notes the analyst, is to:
Weaken Ukraine’s military-industrial complex by destroying production and repair capacity on its soil
Disrupt frontline logistics
Limit Ukraine’s ability to sustain intensive combat operations in targeted areas

The Ukrainian regime’s ongoing attacks on civilians expose its “chosen path of terror - typically the weapon of the doomed,” Rozhin adds.
