Russia has changed its tactics for attacking Ukraine’s energy facilities: it is now striking specific targets, region by region - Ministry of Energy
Instead of simultaneously shelling large energy facilities, Russia is now targeting regions.
According to Censor.NET, with reference to RBC-Ukraine, this was stated by First Deputy Energy Minister Artem Nekrasov during a telethon.
Thus, it is noted that Russia has changed the tactics of attacks on energy facilities.
"If 2-3 years ago they chose large power transmission facilities and attacked them almost simultaneously, now they work from region to region," Nekrasov said.
