Commander of Russian Forces in Ukraine, Sergey Surovikinwarned on Tuesday that he had information about a possible Ukrainian attack using “prohibited methods of warfare” against the city of Kherson in southern Ukrainian territory, but annexed by Russia.
As the Russian military command clarifies, the Ukrainian army can launch a “massive missile strike” on the dam of the Kaevskaya hydroelectric power station, located in the city of Novaya Kayovka.
Only this Tuesday Moscow condemned the Ukrainian attack on this city located in Khersonwhere two people are said to have died and a third received shrapnel wounds.
In addition, the pro-Russian governor of Kherson Vladimir Saldo said that the population of the eastern sector of the region began to be evacuated to the western part of the Dnieper due to threats of a possible attack on the hydroelectric power station. .
In addition, Surovikin warned that Kyiv was planning a “massive rocket and artillery strike on the city without analyzing the targets,” according to the Russian TASS news agency.
“These actions can lead to the destruction of the infrastructure of a large industrial center and a large number of casualties among the civilian population,” the Russian military leader said in a “special operation” in Ukraine.
USA: Russia has problems replenishing its military equipment
The US report showed that the Russian army has lost about 6,000 pieces of military equipment since February 24 last year and that it does not have the ability to replace or produce equipment lost at the front due to sanctions against Russian industry. .
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has indicated that since May, Russian ranks have been showing shortages of critical supplies, especially diesel engines, helicopter parts, and aircraft or armored tanks. The export ban has also affected Russia’s ability to produce precision-guided weapons.
The New York Times reported that Russia is beginning to see the effects of sanctions due to, for example, a shortage of bearings for military equipment. In addition, it is indicated that the Russian intelligence services “illegally” acquire technology, while resorting to the help of other countries, such as Iran and North Korea.
