Blow on Lugansk: As the Armed Forces attack on the oil depot will make the occupiers move to motorcycles

The attack was affected by the oil storage facility, which caused a large -scale fire and significant smoke in the city. According to Andriy Kovalenko, the head of the Center for Combating Misinformation at the NSDC, "the logistics of Russians in the temporarily occupied Lugansk is burning," he confirmed the success of the strike on the critical object of hostile forces.

On social networks there were videos that hear the buzzing drones over the city, as well as several explosions, after which pillars of fire appeared. The monitoring telegram channels specified: the target was the oil refining. Kovalenko also noted that the Armed Forces "jewelry" was struck by other military objects of the invaders in a temporarily captured Donetsk, adding: "there is very greasy", referring to the accuracy and significance of objects.

Military expert Dmitry Zhmaylo notes in a comment to Focus that the local occupation authorities reported at least 4 drones, but it is unknown whether this information is relevant. "Based on information from an open source, it is known that the potential goals of the attack have become the oil and logistics of the Russians.   It is also reported on similar blows to temporarily occupied Donetsk and Crimea, as well as in the border regions of Russia.

According to the expert, the SUU is probably carrying out a coordinated operation aimed at undermining logistics and reducing the enemy's ability to conduct hostilities. "As of now, the official comments of the Armed Forces General Staff on the effectiveness of the impact are absent, but we can say that such strokes contribute to the stretching of the enemy air defense system, complicate logistics and have a psychological effect," - continues Zhmaylo.

According to military expert Oleg Zhdanov, there will be no direct instant effect in Lugansk in Lugansk - economic or military. It works a little differently - the impact accumulates over time. "For example, if they hit the oil and stops work, then the fuel will have to be brought from another place. It changes logistics - a new base further, the shoulder of the carriage longer, so delivery becomes more difficult. The same with ammunition.

Ammunition and fuel to the front are not brought to the front. Choosing. It is also worth noting that this blow was the first in occupied Lugansk. "To be honest, it is strange. It (oil depot - ed. ) Existed there for a long time, literally under our nose, and we had something to get it. But for some reason we have not been beaten there.

In the past, we focused on other purposes: accumulation of equipment, warehouses, location," In his opinion, it is now that the forces of Ukraine have been attacking Lugansk, namely the oil depot, for some reasons. "Russia is accumulating resources is a fact. They have enough personnel, and they concentrate forces for storms. Technique, fuel, weapons should be stored somewhere, so they accumulate. Recently, the Armed Forces have really been working on the rear.

As an example, the expert cites strikes in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions - Tokmak, Melitopol. There, Ukrainian soldiers stopped the railway movement, and the Russians still could not fully restore it. Also, the Armed Forces broke two echelons with fuel, another with equipment. That is, the forces of Ukraine do not allow the enemy to accumulate in one place. "The priorities have changed a little. We do not have enough drones as promised.

Because of this technique it is no longer possible to destroy as before. And with personnel the same thing - physically not pulling it on such a scale. So now we work for the future: not to gather a lot of work. Fuel and lubricants-the Russian soldier will continue to storm our positions on foot. We will remind, over the Dnipropetrovsk region for the first time new Russian development-"thunder-E1"-a hybrid between rocket and aviation.
