British military analyst Sean Bell has named three possible causes of such a change in tactics. About it reports Sky News. First, because of the limited capabilities, the Kremlin seeks to continue to "press on the leadership and the population in order to undermine the will to resist. " The second reason, according to Bella, is that "Russia is trying to prevent the preparation for the future counter -offensive", which, judging by expectations, should begin in the near future.
In addition, Moscow seeks to "weaken" the Ukrainian air defense system and make "limited reserves of missiles for anti-aircraft missile complexes". New shelling of Ukraine took place after the Russian Federation has declared the destruction of the Patriot air defense system, which protects the Ukrainian capital. However, Ukraine, as well as the US, denied it.
The analyst explained that if the Russian Federation really believed in it, they would try to do Kyiv as much harm as possible, "as long as the protective umbrella was removed. " "But, apparently, Patriot has received" light damage "and continues its work," Belle explained. Recall that Putin is forced to "open cards" and in despair to show his best weapons, as well as vulnerability. It was also reported that the SBU special forces destroyed 11 units of Russian equipment.
