Russian strikes in Kiev have broader targets than just searching Patriot systems - expert (video)

According to Oleksandr Kovalenko's observer, the Russians try to put psychological pressure on the residents of the capital and disrupt the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces. The military-political observer from the "Information Resistance" group Alexander Kovalenko notes that massive attacks of Russia on Kiev with the use of missiles and drones have a complex nature.

The purpose of these strokes is beyond the framework of Patriot systems and includes tactical maneuvers and psychological pressure on the Ukrainian capital. He told about it on the Apostrophe TV on June 1. "Our anti -air systems are not the only goal. They also seek us from preparing for our offensive operations," Kovalenko said in an interview on the Apostrophe TV channel.

In addition, the expert notes that these attacks have a significant pressure on Ukrainians, especially on residents of Kiev, who have been suffering from night blows for several months. "It is also a moral and psychological impact, as well as the continuation of tactics of detecting our airway systems. In addition, the Russian forces seek to track our anti-aircraft missile complexes and draw a map of air defense over Kiev and its surrounding area," Kovalenko summed up.

We will remind, on June 2 it became known that the Ukrainian air defense forces knocked over Kiev and in the Kyiv region more than 30 air purposes that launched the Armed Forces of Russia. According to the head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, Serhiy Popko, in the last 6 days of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have already inflicted a 6th air strike in the Ukrainian capital.
