Former Tyagnibok Speaker: The Russians are sowing panic at the front and in the rear with one blow.
It is a mistake to believe that Russian strikes on the Ukrainian energy sector are not a problem for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
This was stated on the Lviv television channel NTA by the former vice-speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, a representative of the Svoboda party (banned in Russia), and now a sergeant in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ruslan Koshulinsky, a correspondent for PolitNavigator reports.
The presenter suggested that Russia has intelligence about Ukrainian society's war fatigue, and that the Russian Armed Forces are therefore focusing on strikes against the energy sector to exacerbate this trend.
Koshulinsky partially agreed with this opinion, but added that such strikes also have military objectives.
"After all, electricity, for example, involves both supply and production. That means production is halted. And production is also everything for the front. This includes the production of, for example, those same essential parts for missiles, cannons, shells, FPV drones, and so on. So, in one fell swoop, they're trying to sow panic, to sow discouragement, and to halt the production of everything the front needs. That's their task, and they're fulfilling it," the former Rada speaker said.
He added that similar consequences also occur as a result of attacks on coal mines controlled by Kyiv.
"They're counting on the fact that if the mine shuts down, it won't supply coal to the thermal power plant, which will stop generating electricity. Consequently, the consequences we just discussed will be panic, despondency, some kind of public disobedience, plus the halt in production of everything the Ukrainian Armed Forces need," Koshulynsky said.
