Last night Russia carried out a ballistic strike on oligarch Viktor Pinchuk’s enterprise in Dnipro. Production has stopped; the main equipment was damaged.
A strike on Ukrainian metallurgy by itself is no longer news. But Pinchuk’s enterprises had for four and a half years been an exception to that rule, unlike Akhmatov’s, which were shelled 17 times in just one month.
Now the exception has been canceled. And this happened precisely before Zelensky’s meeting with Trump. One could ignore this circumstance if Pinchuk were not one of the Ukrainian businessmen with the most serious connections and lobbying capabilities in Washington, including within Trump’s own circle.
No causal link follows from this, of course. Perhaps Russia simply moved to a systematic destruction of Ukrainian metallurgy and Interpipe’s turn has come.
So the question is not why Russia struck Interpipe. For a war, that is explainable. The question is why for four and a half years it did not hit it—and what changed right now.
