Russia’s defense-industrial complex has begun to face a serious shortage of missile warheads due to systematic attacks on its chemical enterprises, stated the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation, Andriy Kovalenko.
Strikes on chemical giants
Over the past month, Ukrainian forces have carried out successful strikes on at least five Russian chemical industry plants. Some of them were attacked several times.
These enterprises are key links in the ammunition production chain, and their shutdown effectively paralyzes further manufacturing.
According to Kovalenko, microelectronics producers and facilities of the Votkinsk plant, where Iskander and Oreshnik missiles are manufactured, also came under fire.
"All this affects production and frontline supply logistics, and disrupts Russian plans," the head of the Center said.
The expert emphasized that despite ammunition supplies from North Korea, Russia will not be able to sustain the pace of the war without the full operation of its own defense sector.
He added that the key to victory lies in destroying the enemy’s industrial potential.
"In fact, the only effective way to stop Russia is to stop its defense industry," Kovalenko concluded.
Strikes on Russia’s rear
In recent weeks, Ukrainian drones have increasingly targeted the enemy’s critical infrastructure. In particular, a recent strike hit fuel facilities deep inside Russia, in the Krasnodar region. These facilities support Russia's logistics.
It was also reported that unidentified drones attacked a chemical plant in Russia directly involved in military production.
In addition, explosions were heard in occupied Crimea, where an air defense missile regiment of Russian forces was targeted.
