Russia's repeated missile launches against Ukraine's rail system appear to be aimed at disrupting Kiev's fastest and most efficient delivery route for weapons.
AP reported that the Russian military recently carried out a series of weapons launches on Ukraine's railway system - works important in transporting Western-aided weapons to Ukrainian forces. disperse civilians and export food.
Ukraine is a relatively flat country with a railway system stretching everywhere. This is considered a great military advantage, making it easier for Ukraine to transfer Western weapons to aid forces on the front lines.
In fact, arms shipments from the United States and Europe helped Ukraine stop the advance of Russian forces in the early stages of the military campaign. Now that the West has announced that it will deliver heavy weapons to Ukraine, as well as in large quantities, railways are expected to continue to play an important role in sending weapons across Ukraine.
Russia has repeatedly warned it will consider Western arms shipments as "valid targets" for destruction. Meanwhile, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said the attacks on Ukraine's railway system were to disrupt efforts to aid weapons from the US and its allies.
Recently, Russia used air- and sea-launched high-precision guided missiles to destroy power stations at five railway stations across Ukraine. Some of the incidents took place in and around the city of Lviv in western Ukraine, near the border with Poland. Lviv is the gateway for NATO-supplied weapons into Ukraine.
Lviv officials said that Russian weapons damaged three power substations, knocking out power in parts of the city. Before that, Lviv was often the site of sporadic attacks during the 70-day Russian military campaign.
Military experts say that in the early stages of the military campaign, Russia did not target Ukraine's railway system because Moscow thought it might need to use them to send troops and weapons. throughout Ukraine.
However, developments on the battlefield show that Russia's military campaign is not progressing as quickly as expected when they have not been able to overwhelm Kiev in the early stages. "Now that Russia understands that it will no longer be able to use Ukraine's railway systems, they have decided to destroy it to prevent Kiev from sending weapons," said retired French general Dominique Trinquand.
However, British expert Frank Ledwidge said that Russia still seems to be launching weapons at the power generation facilities for Ukraine's railway system. This seems to suggest that Russia may still have a goal of damaging the network rather than completely destroying the Ukrainian railway system.
"This will disrupt Ukraine's arms transfers, but it won't stop Kiev," Ledwidge surmised.
