Alcohol factories in Russia are being used not only for the production of alcohol but also for the manufacturing of fuel for military needs and explosives. That’s why these facilities are being targeted by Ukrainian drones, Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD), reports.
According to him, Ukrainian drones recently struck four facilities on Russian territory:
- Biokhim, a facility engaged in the processing of molasses and the production of ethanol;
- Luzhkovsky alcohol plant;
- Efremov alcohol plant;
- An industrial facility in the Voronezh region.
Kovalenko emphasized that all these objects are military, although they are disguised as civilian enterprises.
