Analysts explained why it is important for the enemy to attack protected Kyiv.
Russian missile strikes (the last one on the night of December 11) on the Kiev region suggests that the enemy may repeat such attacks several more times in December.
About this in the comments for TSN.ua said a military expert, reserve colonel Roman Svitan. According to him, December will be full of dates and events that will make Putin want to attack Ukraine several more times.
“The recent missile attack was intended to highlight Putin’s candidacy for the presidency. In Russian public news, news about the attack on Ukraine ran alongside the news about Putin’s nomination,” says Svitan. Today’s attack was aimed at interrupting the positive message about Vladimir Zelensky’s trip to South America and North America. At the same time, Russia does not use very many missiles; there is no point in using the majority of the missiles. They created an information flow, they say, they struck Kyiv, there were many explosions. To use a lot of missiles for this, as they say, “the toad crushes.”
According to Swithan, the attack may be repeated, for example, when Vladimir Zelensky meets with Joe Biden.
“They could repeat it on December 14, when Putin plans to give some kind of message, or they could repeat it on December 25, on New Year’s,” the expert lists the dates.
According to Svitan, Putin is firing missiles at Kyiv because it attracts more attention than striking other Ukrainian cities.
“That is, the Russians do not need a result, but an information message. They demonstrate that the Russian armed forces are working, a “successful” war is underway. They demonstrate this “success,” the expert sums up.
In turn, the military-political observer of the Information Resistance group Alexander Kovalenko says that after a long pause, the Russians, during the latest attacks, tried to implement an experiment to break through missiles through our air defense systems.
“The last raid, including kamikaze drones, suggests that the Russians first tried to use kamikaze drones as reconnaissance elements. They understood that most of the drones would be shot down, but their main goal was to disperse the attention of the air defense and waste ammunition. And the second wave was very difficult to intercept ballistic missiles, which were aimed at the Kyiv region and Kyiv. Russians they know very well that Kyiv and the region are better protected from the entire range of Russian missile weapons, which is why they are trying to find out what means can most effectively break through these systems of our air defense “, says Alexander Kovalenko.
