Khmara: Ukraine to destroy Russian infrastructure, logistics to switch off military machine

Acting Ukrainian Defense Minister Yevheniy Khmara declared that the Ukrainian military will target and disable Russian military infrastructure, fuel and energy facilities, fleet, logistics, and associated enterprises. The Ukrainian operation in Novorossiysk, a unique combined strike utilizing missiles, jet drones, and naval drones, proved Russia's inability to withstand the simultaneous Ukrainian strike assets.

Khmara attributed this success to the synergy and joint efforts of the Defense Forces, commending the precision of Ukrainian warriors and the advancement of weapons by Ukrainian manufacturers, which strengthen Ukraine's ability to strike the enemy effectively. Enhancing deep strikes on Russia is one of his top priorities, and he assured the joint efforts with the Commander-in-Chief Drapaty, the General Staff, Unmanned Systems Forces, the State Border Service (SBU), and other Defense Forces components, alongside manufacturers, to build up this pressure on Russia.

The Defense Minister reminded that joint steps for Ukrainian operations were determined at a meeting chaired by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on August 12. As Ukrainian operations become increasingly challenging to counter, Ukrainian weapons will become more widely produced, strikes will achieve greater accuracy, and Russia will ultimately be consumed by the conflict.

The Defense Minister reinforced the commitment to fulfilling President Zelenskyy's task of compelling Russia to a fair peace.
