After several weeks without significant changes on the front, the Ukrainian Army has turned the campaign upside down with several sabotage actions in

, which have left the Russian enemy unanswered. .

"Our strategy is to destroy logistics, supply lines, ammunition depots and other military infrastructure. This causes chaos in the Russian ranks,"

, a presidential adviser, told reporters.

Russia finds itself in a situation where it is neither making breakthroughs towards Ukrainian strongholds in the

nor can it guarantee the security of its stockpiles and supply chains in Crimea, under Russian control since 2014, and the regions bordering with Russia. Ukraine.

CRIMEA, A LEGITIMATE AND VULNERABLE TARGET

Crimea has been hostile territory for Ukrainian troops since the start of the "special military operation" last February and, in fact, the units that conquered part of the southern regions of

came from the peninsula.

Last week nine Russian planes, according to satellite images, were destroyed in explosions at a military airfield caused by Ukrainian partisans,

admitted on Wednesday .

On Tuesday it was the turn of an arsenal with fuel and ammunition, an attack that forced the evacuation of thousands of people and that the Western press, citing official sources, attributes to special Ukrainian units.

Today, the Crimean Bridge, the engineering feat that broke the isolation of the territory and linked the peninsula with the Russian mainland, is no longer beyond the reach of the Ukrainian forces.

"It is an illegal construction and it is the main port of supply for the Russian Army in Crimea. These infrastructures must be destroyed," Podoliak said.

In this regard, the German chancellor,

, assured that the West provides Kiev with weapons so that "

can protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity".

Precisely, the sabotage of the last week has caused panic among tourists, who quickly left the peninsula the day before through that bridge.

Ukrainian, in his traditional night message.

MEDIUM-TERM STRATEGY

Kiev publicly admits that the objective is to slow down the Russian advance in Donbas, thus buying time to receive more Western heavy weapons, as happened in the long sieges of

.

In fact, Podoliak admitted in an interview with "The Guardian" that kyiv has requested more than 50 multiple missile launchers from its allies.

Both the Ukrainian and Russian authorities have warned that the sabotage actions will continue until the arrival of winter.

Precisely, Zelensky urged last night in his traditional nightly message to those who live in Russian or pro-Russian controlled territory not to approach military installations.

"I ask all our people in Crimea, in other regions in the south of the country, in the occupied areas of Donbas and in the

region to be very careful. Please do not approach the military facilities of the Russian army and all those places where they store ammunition and equipment, where they have their barracks," he said.

He stressed that in order to expel Russian troops from

more difficult every day , an objective that he described as the "main political-military task."

The Russian leaders hope "that the Ukrainians, the Europeans and the whole world get tired of this war. We must do everything so that it is not we or our friends and partners who get tired, but our enemy," he stressed.

FROZEN CONFLICT?

Faced with recent claims by Russian President

that the full-scale war has not even just begun, some experts are already predicting that the conflict will last until at least next year.

"I don't think the freeze variant (of the conflict) is possible. There may be a reduction in activity depending on the season. Modern wars are resource wars. Resources, of course, run out on both sides." And each side needs time to recover," said

, the Ukrainian defense minister.

He stressed that the Russian Army lost a third of the military potential it used at the beginning of the armed intervention, which includes airborne forces, marines and members of special forces, as well as a thousand pilots.

"That's why, let's say, a cooling is possible from the point of view of combat. What I don't see is a freeze (...) It is a war. A war of survival. And we are going to defend ourselves to survive," he told The Voice of America and estimated the number of Russian troops currently fighting on Ukrainian territory at 135,000, including many non-professional soldiers.
