В ЦПД рассказали, на что рассчитывает РФ в войне после успешных атак на НПЗ.

This was stated by the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD), Andriy Kovalenko, as reported by RBK-Ukraine referencing his Telegram. This information is also reported by Kontakty.UA.

"Currently, due to significant losses in armored vehicles and logistical failures regarding fuel as a result of strikes on refineries and oil depots, the Russians are relying more on infantry assaults," he explained.

According to Kovalenko, the Russian infantry is utilizing various vehicles, including motorcycles, buggies, and their own legs.
