Why It Matters
Attacks on critical infrastructure led to interruptions in heat supply in Ukraine.
The offensive impulse of the Russian troops will not be stopped by the cold, assured military expert Andrei Kolesnik. In a conversation with Lenta.ru, he stated that military operations will continue in the same mode, and changes will depend only on weather conditions, which affect the use of equipment.
“The weather affects the conduct of combat operations, the use of equipment depends on it. But I think the fighting will not change. Our armed forces will continue to push the enemy out of Donbass in a calm offensive mode. There are protracted battles somewhere, but this is a local story. The offensive impulse of our troops cannot be stopped,” the military expert explained.
The Ukrainian side, according to him, will face additional difficulties with the onset of cold weather. Strikes on critical infrastructure deep inside Russia have changed the tactics of Russian troops: retaliatory strikes are carried out on the same targets in Ukraine, which leads to interruptions in heat supply.
“We cannot leave such attacks unanswered. Let all Ukrainians’ complaints about the lack of heat be directed at the country’s President Vladimir Zelensky,” concluded Kolesnik.
