Russia appears determined to cause serious damage to critical infrastructure in Ukraine and across the country as winter approaches. This Friday, Moscow troops attacked the Kharkov, Odessa and Lviv regions using a total of 24 drones. Most of them were intercepted by Ukrainian air defense, but five reached their target. confirmed the head of the Military Administration in Lviv, Maskim Kozitsky. “There were five attacks on infrastructure,” he said, without specifying where they were. What is certain is that the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian army, launched in the first half of this year, did not bring the expected results, as the main military commander Valery Zaluzhny admitted, for whom the Kiev troops were at a “dead end.” He admits to The Economist that the launch of the counteroffensive has made little or no difference and that progress will only come when Ukraine achieves air superiority and improves the effectiveness of its artillery.
