A U.S. Defense Department official said Russia’s strikes in Odessa may have been intended to trap Ukrainian forces there and prevent them from strengthening defenders in the Donbas.
The Russian Federation is trying to disrupt the Ukrainian military’s ability to replace its own supplies and strengthen itself. This was stated by a senior official, CNN wrote.
As an example, he cited attacks on power facilities that could disrupt Ukrainian trains.
According to the official, the Russian strikes in Odessa may have been intended to squeeze the Ukrainian forces there and prevent them from strengthening the defenders in the Donbass.
He also noted that most of the ammunition dropped on Mariupol was inaccurate, indicating that Russian forces were still having difficulty delivering their precision-guided munitions.
Recall that Russia threatened to destroy armed vehicles for Ukraine.
