“Ukraine’s strikes on the Leningrad region are aimed at cutting communication links between St Petersburg and Kaliningrad.”
Globalinfo.az reports that military expert Andrey Kolesnik, a former deputy of the Russian State Duma of the sixth to eighth convocations, said this.
“Kaliningrad’s connection with St Petersburg is this region’s connection with mainland Russia. They have not abandoned this issue; they are trying to squeeze the region and somehow impose a blockade on it. That is why they are carrying out strikes,” he said.
According to Kolesnik, Kyiv is currently trying to increase the number of strikes on the Leningrad region.
The military expert added that Ukraine is trying to influence the internal situation in Russian society through the strikes.
It should be noted that a fire broke out at the port of Ust-Luga on the night of November 11 amid an attack by unmanned aerial vehicles. Three workers were injured in the incident. Their lives are not in danger, it was reported. According to Leningrad region Governor Aleksandr Drozdenko, 150 UAVs were shot down over the region. An electrical substation in Ust-Luga also ceased operations due to an accident.
