“It is not a military strategy, but a strategy of terror”especially since there is no “military target”according to this specialist. “We are talking about the city of Zaporijjia and not the nuclear power plant which is more than 60 kilometers away, the target is the city”says Guillaume Ancel.
If the Russians repeatedly bombard this city of Zaporizhia, it is “to show that they are still capable of having a very significant nuisance power, while the units are totally overrun and outmatched by the Ukrainian units”believes Guillaume Ancel.
This former officer of the French army is categorical, for him “the Russian army is cracking all over Ukraine and is losing the war”. According to him, “it is also necessary to make the connection with the bridge of Kerch on which there was a very strong explosion” Saturday.
Zaporizhia is also a target for Moscow because “it is the only major Ukrainian city in this southern front, on which the Ukrainians are launching a counter-offensive”. “It is also a city within range of the Russians’ multiple rocket launchers”, adds Guillaume Ancel. He argues that “The Russians are starting to run out of special ammunition and there they are using rocket launchers that don’t have huge ranges.”
