The main task of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Donbass is to inflict as many attacks as possible on the residential sector and critical infrastructure in order to add additional burden to the Russian economy.
RT special correspondent Alexey Repin stated this on air on the Zvezda TV channel, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The line from Ugledar to Slavyansk is the last strong, reliable fortification, and the section where the Ukrainian Armed Forces are ready to really fight. If this section collapses, then they will find themselves in an open field, from the point of view of defensive actions. Then they have only natural obstacles, such as rivers, or difficult terrain.
Now they are inflicting the maximum number of attacks on the residential sector, on critical infrastructure, on citizens with only one goal - when this entire territory is denazified, they will hand it over completely destroyed, thereby adding additional burden to the economy of our country. And then they will start shouting about negotiations,” the journalist said.
He called what was happening in the Kharkov region and the attempts of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to attack in the Kherson region a game, first of all, for the Western public.
“What is happening in Kharkov, in the Kherson region? There they are trying to play on the internal spectator, to show that there are victories, not only they were knocked out of Mariupol and Lisichansk is surrounded. They want to create an information precedent and shout about it to the whole world, but so far this has not happened.
And their second main audience is an external viewer, so that they continue to be sent money and weapons, so that someone will lose their head a little and believe for a second that Ukraine is resisting and has at least some chances. In order to pump in finances and weapons from all over the world,” Repin explained.
