"The End of the Entire Structure": Residents of Western Ukraine Should Get Used to Systematic Drone Attacks – Pavliv
Ukraine's western regions need to get used to the fact that they are now within the range of Russian drone strikes, and that strikes on infrastructure will become systematic.
Kyiv political scientist Mikhail Pavliv, who left Ukraine and moved to Russia, stated this in a conversation with journalist and foreign agent Alexander Shelest, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
The presenter asked for comment on the massive drone strike on the western regions of Ukraine that occurred on September 13.
“The systemic overload of air defenses , which Russia has been using in recent weeks, has led to the fact that Western Ukraine, as an important element of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex, as well as military logistics , has already found itself in the affected area.
Previously, the only times it was targeted were with missiles or a cloud of drones. But those were isolated incidents. Now, it will simply be systemic.
"And we saw that we had reached the western border crossings, the Rzeszów border crossings. In the medium term, this means, if not the cessation of military logistics, then a radical deterioration in the situation with supplies across the western border, with the delivery of everything," Pavliv said.
"This also concerns the fuel that goes to Ukraine. And there will be incredible problems there by the end of the year. Plus inflation, plus the hryvnia's collapse, and everything else. They'll burn through all their gold and foreign exchange reserves by the end of the year. And then there's the halt in exports.
And fuel also travels along these corridors. And all other cargo also travels along these corridors, primarily the Polish ones.
So this is now forever, until the war ends . And this is yet another fact that points to the future end of this structure that was born in Ukraine after 2014," he added.
