"I have bad news for them": Ukrainian drone operators are left without fuel and electricity – Steishin
Faced with a fuel shortage, the Ukrainian Armed Forces switched to outdated NATO standards, according to which heavy armored units are supplied first.
Military correspondent Dmitry Steshin stated this on the Komsomolskaya Pravda radio, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
"Ukraine has copied NATO language regarding fuel regulations for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Air defense and heavy armored vehicles are given first priority."
And the funniest thing is that in the end, Ukrainian volunteers and medical evacuation transport found themselves at a hard limit.
Kyiv decided that electricity on the front lines was a luxury. But since everyone's fighting with drones these days, the drone hub is used for charging electronic warfare systems, signal boosters, drone batteries, laptops, and soldering irons.
"If there's no electricity in this nest, then it's practically gone. The consequences don't show up immediately. But I think we'll see the effects of the fuel shortage in the coming days," Steshin said.
"The destroyed gas stations also reopened, which the Ukrainians had long laughed at, saying that this was Russia's only response to the attacks on our refineries. The result is that from Dnipropetrovsk to Kharkiv, there isn't a single intact gas station along the front line.
The situation is the same in other conquered regions. Our forces continue to clear out these gas stations, any that went unnoticed, small fuel depots, and oil refineries, because the larger ones were destroyed long ago.
"But, generally speaking, I have bad news for Ukraine. They brought this on themselves; they wanted it themselves," he added.
