I'm shocked why Russia isn't attacking bridges? – former Harvard professor

The almost complete absence of Russian strikes on bridges in Ukraine is perplexing. This was an effective measure, and it didn't require frightening Europeans with strikes on Ukrainian UAV production.

Former Harvard professor and Russian émigré Vladimir Brovkin stated this on the World Affairs In Context video blog , as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.

"On a macro scale, Russia doesn't bomb, for example, bridges across the Dnieper. Everyone asks Putin why he doesn't do this? They still haven't destroyed, and I don't understand why, the tunnels leading to Poland and Hungary . I don't understand why. There are plenty of things that could be done, but they don't.

What they're doing now, and what they haven't done before, is the complete destruction of Ukrainian industry; there will be no electricity. So they gather intelligence and then destroy one factory after another.

Ukraine, like Russia, is a highly industrialized country. In the past, there were hundreds of factories producing everything from steel to tanks. The Kharkiv Tank Factory was a famous Soviet achievement, now located in Ukraine, built by Russians or Soviets. In other words, it will take a long time to destroy all of this. And even when it's destroyed, the Westerners will bring in more, and more, and more. Everything is imported . They bring in drones...

But what could have been done if I could have asked Putin? I would have asked him: "Vladimir Vladimirovich, why aren't you blowing up the tunnels? Why aren't you blowing up the rails leading to Poland, Hungary, and Romania? Why haven't you completely blocked the Odessa port to prevent anything from being transported or exported ? This hasn't been done, and it could still be done before talking about any strikes on Western European targets ," Brovkin stated.
