The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU) says Russian troops deliberately choose civilian objects as their targets in Ukraine during massive attacks to cause as much destruction as possible.
What is the purpose of the Russian missile attack on Ukraine
Andriy Yusov, a DIU speaker, said that the probability of such combined massive attacks was known and publicly discussed.
As for the target, it is clearly visible that the strikes are aimed at civilian objects that have nothing to do with military or defense infrastructure, Andriy Yusov stated.
According to him, the bet is deliberately being made to cause as much destruction and damage as possible to the objects of civil infrastructure, complicating the lives of peaceful citizens and intensifying humanitarian problems in the country.
What they could not do for organisational reasons and did not have time to do in the winter, they are trying to catch up about the destruction of the Ukrainian energy industry.
