During the bombing of Ukraine, the Russians have accidentally hit and destroyed the factories that were once building the military essentials that Vladimir Putin needs.
Working tanks, missiles, and fighter jets are essential in any war. And the parts and components needed to repair them are made in Ukraine. All Russian helicopter engines, ships and cruise missiles. Many ground-to-air missile and tank components are also manufactured in Ukrainian factories.
Russia is also having a restocking crisis. Some essential supplies were lost in the strategic bombing of the port of Berdyansk. Ukraine also made a precision strike with a Tochka-U missile on Russia. The hit destroyed an ammunition warehouse in the village of Oktyabrskoe, near the town of Belgorod. Russia had stores of artillery supplies at the facility.
Is Russia changing plans because Putin is running low on resources?
This week, in the middle of peace talks Russia’s deputy defense minister said the country was moving into “phase two.” He claims that Russian forces will be pulled back from Kyiv. And then be directed towards the Donbas region in the east.
