Ukraine's strikes on Russian oil depots are already yielding results, as Russia now relies more on infantry in its frontline offensives, states Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD) on Telegram.
"Due to significant losses of armored vehicles and logistical disruptions caused by fuel shortages following strikes on oil refineries and depots, Russia is now relying more on infantry offensives," he said.
According to Kovalenko, Russian infantry is using equipment such as motorcycles, buggies, and their own legs.
Ukrainian Armed Forces' attacks on Russian oil depots
Ukrainian forces regularly target oil depots and other key Russian facilities that supply the occupying forces on the frontline in Ukraine.
For example, on January 18, drones from the Ukrainian Military Intelligence (HUR) attacked an oil depot in the Tula region of Russia. At least ten "strikes" were reported.
On the evening of January 17, unidentified drones attacked an oil depot in the Kaluga region. The target was an industrial facility in the city of Lyudinovo. According to eyewitnesses, debris fell on the factory grounds, causing a fire.
