US Analyst Points Out Russia's 'Achilles Heel' in War with Ukraine.
Ukraine is fighting a war on its territory, but many Russian military facilities near the Ukrainian border are not properly protected. This information was provided by US analyst Brady Africk.
The expert noted that Russian facilities might be protected by personnel or shelters for essential equipment, such as aircraft.
Inadequate protection makes Ukraine's task difficult, as it gives the enemy Time to prepare and strengthen defenses. Recently, Ukraine struck the Marinovka airbase, where aircraft were protected, but they did not exist there before. They were likely built by Russia during the invasion.
The United States supports Ukraine and does not change its position on the use of long-range weapons against Russia. This was confirmed by the coordinator for strategic communications of the US National Security Council John Kirby.
Pentagon Chief Lloyd Austin stated that resolving the war does not depend on a single weapon, so it is necessary to help Ukraine succeed in defending its territory. Initially, the US will allow Ukraine to use British and French long-range missiles for strikes against Russia, but will not use its own weapons.
In response to this, the Kremlin will escalate hybrid attacks on NATO countries.
