Russian forces have sharply intensified attacks on logistics on the Boguslav-Petropavlivka section, massively using Starlink UAVs. Dozens of attacks were recorded there in the past 24 hours.
In particular, a civilian bus carrying people was also hit – miraculously, there were no casualties. This was reported by Sergey “Flash” Beskrestnov, an expert in electronic warfare and communications systems, advisor to the Minister of Defense.
What is happening on the Boguslav – Petropavlivka route?
The enemy focused significant forces on strikes on the logistical routes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Boguslav – Petropavlivka section, actively using drones controlled via Starlink.
According to information from the military at the scene, several dozen strikes took place there in just one day.
A bus carrying people also came under enemy fire. Only thanks to a lucky coincidence, all the passengers survived.
The Russian unit “Rubicon” is actively distributing videos of attacks on its propaganda channels, trying to demonstrate the “effectiveness” of the strikes.
In response, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reacted immediately – Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov personally took control of the situation.
The tactic of disrupting logistics routes is one of Russia's basic methods of warfare. The enemy tries to complicate or completely disrupt the delivery of ammunition, equipment, fuel, and personnel rotation.

What is known about the “Shaheeds” from Starlink?
-
Russian forces are increasingly using strike drones equipped with Starlink satellite communications. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has already turned to SpaceX to solve this problem.
-
Poland's foreign minister has called on Musk to restrict Russian access to his Starlink satellite network, saying “profiting from war crimes could seriously damage the brand's reputation.”

The answer was not long in coming. Elon Musk noted that Sikorsky did not understand the key role of Starlink and harshly added: “This drooling imbecile does not even realize that Starlink is the basis of Ukraine's military communications.”
