Russia launched a massive strike on Ukraine. During the night of August 21, Russian missiles and Shaheds hit western regions. One of the missiles struck a large American electronics factory, causing major destruction and civilian casualties. Putin has likely decided to resume his terror tactics, which had been held back for some time by negotiations.
What could be behind these Kremlin actions, when to expect new strikes, why the Russians used Zircon missiles, and does this signify a de facto step back from peace negotiations — read in the TSN.ua article.
Russia will resume massive strikes on Ukraine
Military expert Oleh Zhdanov believes that regular massive Russian strikes on Ukraine will resume. He states that the negotiation process and meetings with U.S. President Donald Trump were a restraining factor.
“Putin wanted Trump not to be able to say to him: you’re the aggressor, why are you hitting Ukraine? And now Putin will try to launch such strikes as often as possible. All the more so since they have stockpiled a bit of Shaheds and missiles,” Oleh Zhdanov told TSN.ua.
In his opinion, Putin currently has two goals:
“First, to force us into capitulation, into negotiations on their terms. They think this way they are strengthening their bargaining position. And on the other hand, Putin will try to seize as much of our territory as possible before Trump finally realizes that pressure must be put on Russia, not just promises.”
targets — 546 out of 574 drones.
“We are building up our air defense system, trying. As I understand it, last night our aviation worked very hard. Virtually everything we have in service — I mean fighter jets — was put in the air and tried to shoot them down. The strike was massive, and we responded massively. We understand that when 50 Shaheds are incoming, we try to fight them with smaller forces, but when 500 are coming — then everything in our arsenal must be used, which is what we did,” the military expert explains.
