Zelenskyy: Russia's new target in large-scale attacks is railways and water infrastructure
President Zelenskyy highlights Russia's new strategy of targeting logistics and water supply facilities in large-scale attacks during a discussion with regional administration representatives.
In a recent address, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy informed regional administration representatives that Russia has altered its tactics in the ongoing conflict, now focusing on logistics facilities and water infrastructure in its large-scale attacks. He indicated that the railway systems and water supply networks have become primary targets, which poses significant risks to logistics and daily life in Ukraine.
Zelenskyy urged local officials to recognize the gravity of this threat and to implement appropriate protective measures at the community level. He stressed the importance of a coordinated response and emphasized that air defense systems, alongside the Ministry of Defence and government institutions, have been assigned necessary tasks to address these new challenges. The mobilization of resources and prompt actions are deemed crucial for the safety and protection of Ukraine's critical infrastructure.
The shift in Russian tactics reflects a strategy aimed at undermining Ukraine's logistics, which could have far-reaching implications for the nation's ability to manage supplies and sustain civilian life during the ongoing conflict. This development may further intensify the focus on strengthening Ukraine's air defense capabilities and enhancing collaboration among governmental institutions, especially in areas vulnerable to attacks aiming at crippling essential services.
