DPR head says strikes hitting Ukrainian targets greatly affect situation on frontlines

It is reported that logistics, elements of tracking, communications and so on break down

MOSCOW, November 25. /TASS/. Allied strikes pouding Ukrainian facilities have greatly impacted the situation on the frontline, because they deprive the enemy of communications capabilities and worsen logistics, Acting Head of the Donetsk People's Republic Denis Pushilin said on Friday.

"Yes, I believe that these strikes on the front have begun to be repelled. You can see it in the equipment. I’m not even talking about European, [or] American equipment, I'm talking about the stationary equipment, which is now already much worse. This has to do with the fact that by cutting power to any areas, especially rear areas, this strips away the availability of having steady electricity supplies for repair bases, factories, and workshops. This, of course, has its own effect. Logistics, elements of tracking, communications and so on break down," he said during a Rossiya-1 TV broadcast. "This (the strikes - TASS) is now causing an across-the-board serious impact," Pushilin summed up.

On November 23, the Russian armed forces carried out a massive high-precision weapons strike on the Ukrainian military command system and related energy facilities. Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov reported that the goals of the strike were achieved, and all the designated facilities were hit. According to him, as a result of the strike, the transfer by rail of Ukrainian reserves, foreign weapons, military equipment and ammunition to the areas of combat operations was disrupted. Konashenkov stressed that there were no missile strikes on Kiev, the destruction in the city was the result of foreign and Ukrainian air defense missiles falling.
