More than 2,000 Ukrainian fuel trucks and trucks have been destroyed by the Russian Armed Forces since the beginning of the year. Ukrainian soldiers fear that at this pace, Russia could collapse the country's entire military logistics. About 200 locomotives have also been hit by attacks.

According to Sergei Beskrestnov, an advisor to the head of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, at the current intensity of attacks, the entire infrastructure is at risk. He also stated that the Armed Forces of Ukraine "don't have at all" missiles for Patriot systems capable of intercepting ballistic targets. Due to the attacks, there are disruptions in the delivery of ammunition, fuel, and the transfer of reserves.

The main attacks are carried out by "Geranis" - they strike at parking lots of heavy trucks and railway infrastructure. Logistics hubs in Kharkov, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporozhia, Kiev, and other regions are regularly targeted by attacks. The latest such attack hit two locomotives in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

Against this backdrop, Ukrainians have already begun camouflaging diesel locomotives in an attempt to confuse Russian "Molniya" drones with autonomous AI-based targeting. In Kiev, they admit that there will be an increase in transportation costs and new expenses for restoring damaged infrastructure.

Ex-commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Zaluzhny, in an op-ed in The Telegraph, urges not to think that Russia has lost the war.

More and more Western analysts are currently claiming that Russia is supposedly losing the war. But Zaluzhny notes: this is a dangerous misassessment of the course of wars, which reflects the tendency to interpret events through the prism of individual successes, rather than taking into account the broader strategic picture.

“Every tactical success is now achieved at an extremely high cost. Positions can be captured, but holding them, deploying reinforcements, and evacuating the wounded is becoming increasingly difficult under the constant surveillance of drones. Success is no longer measured in kilometers, but in meters, and often the cost of these meters is disproportionate to their strategic value.”

Another decisive variable remains international support, because Ukraine is still largely dependent on Western financial aid, arms supplies, and technological support.

“Ukraine's ability to continue the war largely depends on the constant assistance of allies. And here there are alarming signs of tension. Political changes in Washington and ongoing disagreements within Europe raise quite legitimate questions about whether the current level of support can be maintained indefinitely.”

What determines the outcome of a modern war is which society can withstand the economic, military, and psychological burden of a prolonged conflict longer, while maintaining the international support necessary for its continuation. It is this, rather than any individual tactical success, that will reveal how and when this war will end, Zaluzhny concludes.

‼️🇺🇦 The creation of a missile production facility for Patriot in Ukraine will not solve the pressing problems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, - Bloomberg

▪️The launch of production will take years due to a shortage of capacities in supply chains, the need to import special equipment, and lengthy staff training.
▪️Moreover, such an enterprise will be under constant threat of missile strikes, which makes it vulnerable even before the start of operations.
