"Fantastically Renty": Ukraine conducts an operation "for pennies" against the Russian Federation - the Secretary of the NSDC

According to Oleksandr Litvinenko, blows to the territory of the Russian Federation restrict the occupants of the space for maneuver, and also show Russian society and elites that the continuation of the war is more expensive than the cessation of aggression. The strikes of unmanned aerial vehicles on the territory of the Russian Federation are part of the strategy of Ukraine aimed at termination of Moscow's military aggression.

This was stated by the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Alexander Litvinenko in an interview with The Economist. According to Litvinenko, it is unclear whether Russian President Vladimir Putin will be able to stop aggression against Ukraine, but Kiev has to approve a military strategy that will force him to do so. Litvinenko noted that UAV strikes in the Russian Federation are a key part of this strategy.

The NSDC Secretary believes that such attacks are necessary to continue pressure on Putin. "First, it limits his space for maneuver, and secondly, it helps to convince Russian society and elites that the continuation of the war is more expensive than termination," he explained. Litvinenko also emphasized that unlike the Russians, Ukrainians do not attack civilians, but aim only at military and oil infrastructure of the Russian Federation.

The article states that these are asymmetric operations that cost "pennies". "One blow to the airfield can damage seven, ten, 15 aircraft. Each of them costs more than $ 30 million each. We can perform the operation for less than $ 2 million. It's fantastically profitable," Litvinenko said.

The NSDC secretary noted that, in his opinion, in the leadership of the Russian Federation "many rational people", so the Russian elite can once decide that the price of Putin's support is higher than the departure from him. We will remind, on April 15, in the temporarily occupied Crimea, the command post of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which housed high -ranking Russian officers, was affected.
