The Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed a Russian cargo train carrying fuel in the temporarily occupied territory of the Zaporizhzhia region, Petro Andriushchenko, Head of the Center for the Study of Occupation, reports.
The Ukrainian forces struck the enemy cargo train transporting fuel through occupied Zaporizhzhia, leaving only ruins behind - nothing alive remained.
“For those asking why the Russians transport fuel at night by train and truck- this is exactly why. To avoid such losses,” Andriushchenko noted.
This strike dealt a significant blow to the enemy’s logistics and once again confirmed the effectiveness of Ukrainian troops in targeting key transport routes.
