Terror of the population and coercion to negotiations: the expert explained why the Russian Federation fired Dnipro and Kharkiv

According to Oleksandr Kovalenko, military actions and terror of civilians are a general concept of the war of the Russians in order for the population to encourage power to negotiate with Moscow. After the rocket attack of the Armed Forces of Russia on the Dnieper, social networks began to publish that in a similar way the Russian army seeks to delay panic and subsequent devastation of the city.

In addition, this situation is reminiscent of events in Kharkiv, when Russian invaders seek to intimidate the locals so that they can start pressing on power and forcing ways to seek ways of compromise with the Russian Federation. The situation in the comment of TSN was commented on by military-political expert Alexander Kovalenko. According to him, the purpose of shelling of the Dnieper by Russian troops is to attack important objects in terms of the Russian command.

It can be about logistics or military objects, but they also attack civilian infrastructure to keep the local population in terror. For the Armed Forces of Russia, military tasks and terror of civilians are integral components of any operation. In addition, Oleksandr Kovalenko added that these two points are combined, namely: military actions and terror of civilians, this is the general concept of their strategy for fighting.

The military observer says that for Kharkiv the main problem is that it is located from the border with Russia at a distance of just over 20 kilometers. Therefore, subsequent attacks of Russians in the city can be more frequent, more massive. In addition, the distance from the border of the Russian Federation to Kharkiv enables the Russians to use even aviation corrected bombs. It is this type of terror that the invaders will constantly apply, attract attention to sow panic among the locals.

Oleksandr Kovalenko states that the Russians now lack the potential for conducting general military operations or offensive actions for the occupation of the city. The occupiers have the potential for the terror of the city itself. Focus wrote that on April 19, the Armed Forces of Russia attacked the Dnipropetrovsk region and the city of Dnipro. The main purpose of the impact was the objects of transport infrastructure.
