Russia's Plans Go Beyond Strikes on Energy Infrastructure: Expert Reveals What Else Russia Is Planning to Target

Political expert and Ukrainian Armed Forces serviceman Oleksandr Musiienko has warned that Russia plans to expand its attacks on Ukraine this winter. Its targets will no longer be limited to energy infrastructure but will also include the food industry, Politeka reports.

He spoke about this in his blog.

According to the expert, Zelenskyy has explicitly stated that winter is part of Putin's operation against civilians. In other words, he notes, the war will continue into the winter, and Russia will be preparing new strikes, despite Ukraine putting forward constructive proposals for de-escalation and a possible energy ceasefire. He adds that sources in Ukraine's Defence Intelligence (HUR) have reported that Russia is preparing attacks on food industry facilities.

"This is the next stage of terror: Russia's plans go beyond strikes targeting exclusively the energy sector and fuel and energy infrastructure. The enemy wants to inflict maximum damage on our civilian population and economy on a much broader scale, depriving us of revenue. All of this amounts to genocide," warns Oleksandr Musiienko.

According to the expert, Ukraine must inform its partners about the enemy's plans so that they can help strengthen the country's resilience by providing weapons, financial assistance and resources, enabling Ukraine to defend itself more effectively against Russian attacks.

"Russia's goal is to destabilize the situation in Ukraine by attacking food security and then launching an information campaign aimed at demoralizing society, inflicting significant damage on the economy and reducing foreign currency earnings. Moscow's plan to damage the food industry is also aimed at increasing Russia's share of agricultural exports to Africa, the Middle East and Asia. This is what Russia is working towards," explains Oleksandr Musiienko.
