It is worth noting! Army General, former head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine Mykola Malomuzh explained to Channel 24 that Russia carried out the most massive combined strike this year, in particular on the energy sector, because in this way Russia exerts pressure for further diplomacy. According to him, when large-scale offensive actions on the front fail, the enemy carries out greater terror and strikes at the infrastructure.
