So far, Kiev has responded to Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilian logistics with attacks on military targets, but if Moscow continues, it will receive stronger retaliatory attacks on Russian logistics. This was stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a United News interview. “Logistics is not a weak point for Ukrainians, but for everyone – he added – It is a matter of life, of habits. We lead a normal life, a habit we had not had since the beginning of the Russian aggression. And Russia does not realize it… I would not advise Russia to continue attacking Ukrainian logistics, because we have understood well what Russian logistics means.” Zelensky explained that Russia’s weaknesses in this area are well known, therefore Russian consumers will face a shortage of goods that will not reach them due to logistical problems.
