Not for Blacka: Putin's massive firing of Putin's energy prompts fear - isw
This was known from the report of the American Institute for War Study (ISW) on April 12. According to analysts, Russian attacks aimed at energy facilities should worsen Ukraine's defense and industrial potential. This desire was partially confirmed by Putin himself. During a meeting with the leader of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, he stated that the blows on energy were related to the purpose of "demilitarizing" Ukraine.
According to him, massive shelling is a "forced" answer to the attacks of drones on the refinery. ISW noted that Putin probably hopes to prevent the development of the Ukrainian MIC to the "point of almost self -sufficiency in the long run. " In this case, its own industry will allow Ukraine to take a favorable position to protect against aggression and significantly reduce the dependence on the support of the event.
"Significant Western aid delays, partly due to successful Russian information operations and indecision of the event, have created an opportunity for Russian offensive operations and Russia's shock campaign," analysts emphasized. They predicted that the development of MIC over time will help protect against Russia and meet the needs of national security in the face of a significant reduction in supply from partners.
The US will not need to send large help packages if Ukraine has expanded its own potential. At the same time, the ISW emphasized that the assistance of the event is currently "crucial" to protect energy from the strikes of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. It is about supplying air defense systems and missiles. We will remind, in AR with reference to intelligence and US officials reported that China has dramatically increased sales of equipment of the Russian Federation.
