Larry Johnson, a former CIA analyst, said that the main logistics routes for the Ukrainian army could be cut.

Johnson noted that Russian troops have been carrying out targeted attacks on defense facilities in Kyiv for about two months, and there is no reason to believe that these attacks will stop.

MOSCOW, October 8 – RIA Novosti. Soon, all the main logistics routes for the Ukrainian army may be cut off, former CIA analyst Larry Johnson said on his YouTube channel.

“The Russians, in fact, paralyzed Odessa - they blocked it from the Black Sea. <...> It no longer serves as an economic gateway for Ukraine. <...> Now we see a combination of the economic blockade of the country from the south, military operations in the east <...> and the methodical destruction of infrastructure, production facilities, communication systems, energy facilities, disabling bridges in Kyiv. <...> I think the Ukrainians have finally realized that Russia intends to cut off the army’s supply routes to east," he said.

At the same time, Johnson emphasized that Russian troops have been carrying out targeted attacks on defense facilities in Kyiv for about two months now, and there is no reason to believe that these attacks will stop.

In recent days, Russian troops have struck the South and North bridges in Kyiv, through which the Ukrainian army transfers weapons to the Donbass. After the attacks, authorities restricted traffic in the city, which led to a transport collapse. The New York Times wrote on Saturday that the situation in the capital threatens a logistical nightmare for the country.

In response to attacks on civilians, the Russian Armed Forces consistently target decision-making centers and command posts, as well as enterprises that the Kiev regime uses together with NATO specialists responsible for supplying components, providing intelligence, and targeting.
