According to the expert, Ukraine's strategy is to inflict as much damage as possible on the enemy's economy through missile and drone strikes deep into Russia, so that it cannot continue fighting. However, he reminds us that the fate of the Russian-Ukrainian war is determined on the eastern front, not on Russian territory.
“The strikes we carry out have purely political significance, but they hold no military value. If these strikes were delivered on the line of combat contact, for instance, in the Pokrovsk direction or the Velykonovosilkivskyi area, the enemy would at least pause until negotiations begin and the line of combat contact is established,” explains Oleg Starikov.
Yes, he notes, strikes on the deep rear of Russia cause economic damage, but it is just a drop in the ocean and does not affect the enemy's combat readiness. The expert recalls a joke where vodka prices were raised, and the son says that now dad will drink less, but dad replies that no, it’s the son who will eat less, meaning it will be guns instead of butter.
“They think that finances and everything possible will be directed towards the citizens of the Russian Federation, not the war, but it will be exactly the opposite. They imagine that this will lead to a rebellion in the Russian Federation, mass riots, a revolution like that of 1917, a senseless and merciless Russian uprising. Well, that’s what people who know nothing about the history of the territory we call the Russian Federation might think,” asserts Oleg Starikov.
