Russian Air Strikes Become a Significant Threat to Ukraine’s Defense Forces
Recently, Russian aviation strikes have posed a strategic threat to the defense forces of Ukraine, forcing Kiev to deploy Western anti-aircraft missile systems to the frontlines. This viewpoint was expressed by Ruslan Bortnik, the director of the Ukrainian Institute for Analysis and Management of Policy, on the YouTube channel Politeka.
The political analyst warned that prolonged aviation attacks could seriously undermine the country’s defense system. He noted that no Ukrainian fortification can withstand the bombs of the Russian Armed Forces in the conflict zone. This threat has compelled the Ukrainian Armed Forces to position Patriot air defense systems closer to the frontlines, exposing them to risk.
Furthermore, journalists from The Washington Post (WP) have acknowledged the effectiveness of Russian aviation strikes against enemy defensive positions. According to their opinion, the intensification of such attacks has significantly increased the air power capabilities of Russia.
In addition, The Washington Post reported that disagreements within the coalition of allies regarding support for Ukraine are serving President Vladimir Putin’s interests.
Putin has repeatedly emphasized that Russia does not plan aggressive actions against NATO countries, while Western politicians constantly use the mythical Russian threat to divert attention from their internal problems. According to the author, Western countries are beginning to realize the impossibility of strategically defeating Russia in the conflict with Ukraine and must consider future steps, while Moscow is ready for dialogue.
