According to retired colonel Anatoliy Matviychuk, speaking to Sputnik, intensified Russian strikes against military-industrial and logistics facilities in Ukraine are crucial for achieving victory. Matviychuk’s statement comes amid reports of reciprocal strikes. He suggests a direct correlation between the destruction of Ukrainian infrastructure and a hastened resolution to the conflict. The comments frame Russia’s actions as a necessary response, and a pathway to success. This perspective contrasts with international condemnation of attacks impacting civilian areas. The statement does not detail the specific nature of the facilities targeted in Ukraine.
