A military expert assessed the impact of attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure on the Ukrainian Armed Forces

Strikes by the Russian army on Ukrainian infrastructure have a cumulative effect and directly affect the combat capability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), said military expert, captain of the first rank of the reserve Vasily Dandykin. He shared his comment with Lenta.ru.

Earlier, the Ministry of Defense reported that the Russian army hit several targets in the Odessa region. The port point of Vilkovo, which was used for the transfer of military cargo, and storage facilities for fuel and lubricants in the port of Chernomorsk - they were intended for the Ukrainian army - came under attack.

“All these attacks are reflected in one way or another [on the combat capability of the Ukrainian Armed Forces], and accumulation exists. The more strikes, the less resistance of the Kyiv regime on the ground, in the northwestern military line. Winter is coming, [the Ukrainian Armed Forces need] property, food, warm clothes, and, of course, fuel and lubricants - they need to move around - shells and so on,” Dandykin said.

The expert emphasized that impacts on port infrastructure, bridges and other logistics facilities are already having an effect and will have a stronger impact as cold weather approaches.

“And here the port structure, bridges and everything else - this is already having an impact and will have an even more impact,” Dandykin added.
