"It’s normal tactics to ruin the logistic lines of your enemy to stop the options to get more ammunition, to get more fuel, to get more food, etcetera. That’s why we will use these tactics against them."
Background:
- President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that the Crimean Bridge is a legitimate target for Ukraine because the Russian invaders use it to transport weapons.
- Oleksii Reznikov, Defence Minister of Ukraine, believes that Ukraine will win the war by next summer and could be admitted into NATO in July 2024.
