Strategic Shift: How Russia Сould Retarget Strikes on Ukraine After Energy Moratorium

The agreement includes the option of the extension and the withdrawal from the deal in case one of the sides does not observe it.

With the Russia-Ukraine temporary ban on strikes against each other’s energy facilities in force, Moscow may concentrate on striking the Kiev regime’s military targets, Yuri Knutov, a military expert and historian of the Air Defense Forces, told Sputnik.

Russia’s new tactics "will weaken the military potential of the Ukrainian Armed forces," the expert emphasized.

He stresses that the Russian military could use combat drones, cruise missiles and the Kinzhal (Dagger) hypersonic missiles to target Ukraine’s:

weapons storage sites

training sites

command posts

drone assembly sites

military hardware repair shops

Western-supplies warplanes, such as the F-16 and Mirage

air defenses and electronic warfare systems

artillery installations and other means designed to strike Russian territory.
