Russia is trying to expand the geography of its terror. The enemy has not managed to achieve its goals on the battlefield, so, in fact, it is trying to turn the entire territory of Ukraine into the same battlefield.
Thus, the occupiers resort to systematic attacks on civilians, trains, and infrastructure that ensures the country's functioning. This was stated by Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga.
What prompted such a statement?
The diplomat, in particular, recalled that 13 on September Russian unmanned aerial vehicles carried out strikes on railway facilities in Lutsk and Fastiv. In particular, in Volyn the passenger train came under fire. Fortunately, no one was injured because the threat was detected in time and passengers were evacuated.
Moreover, in Zvyahel, Zhytomyr region, the enemy struck a stop for public transport. As a result, at least two people were killed.
"Closing Ukrainian airspace is part of Russia's strategy to bring Russia down. We need air defense systems, interceptors, and counter-drone measures to deprive Moscow of the ability to spread the war to our cities and transport networks," emphasized Sibiga.
The head of the Foreign Ministry also noted that the growth of drone production in Russia cannot be ignored. A country that manufactures thousands of weapons for spreading terror far beyond the front line must face systematic disruption of this production, its supply chains, and the resources that support it.
Moscow wants to expand the battlefield. Our response should consist of limiting Russia's ability to wage war. Our partners have the capabilities and tools for this,
— summed up Sibiga.
Additionally, during 13 September Russia massively attacked Odesa region — enemy strikes caused extensive destruction of residential buildings and gas pipelines.
Also, almost the entire day, Rivne region was under drone attack. In the region, in particular, a gas station was damaged. In addition, part of Dubno and several settlements in Rivne district were left without power, and one enterprise in Sarny district was destroyed.
