Was the railway station in Lviv really the target of the enemy shelling?
Recently, Russian terrorists have been targeting energy facilities, civilian residential areas and defense industry objects. Russia uses these attacks to apply psychological pressure and demonstrate strength.
Military expert Oleksandr Musienko said about this in a comment to "Focus".
He does not believe that the railway station in Lviv was the target of the enemy shelling. According to him, the aggressor's goal was to get as close to the center of Lviv as possible to "create a display of power."
Oleksandr Musienko also analyzed the combined enemy attack on Kyiv on September 2. He said that Russia similarly tried to strike closer to the center of the capital, near the government quarter. In his assessment, the aggressor seeks to demonstrate what it is capable of through destruction and how it can bypass Ukrainian air defenses.
Musienko noted that recently, the Russian army's targets have included energy infrastructure, civilian residential areas and defense industry facilities, and this also highlights the effectiveness of Ukrainian drones.
The analyst reported that during the shelling of Lviv, a "Kinzhal" missile missed its target, though generally it has fewer accuracy problems compared to older Russian missiles.
Musienko confirms that the Russian Armed Forces are interested in causing the highest possible number of casualties. In Russia, missile strikes are perceived not only in terms of practical outcomes but also as psychological terror. According to the expert, the enemy's goal is to demoralize Ukrainians and weaken their resistance.
"It's the opposite for them, : the more civilian casualties, the better," the analyst stressed.
