The Armed Forces of Ukraine’s strikes on the Russian invaders’ logistics are hampering supplies to the front.
The Security Service of Ukraine struck one of the key Russian chemical industry enterprises, “Metafrax Chemicals,” which was operating for the military needs of the Russian Federation; production processes at the facility were halted following the strike.
Ukrainian defense forces have intensified strikes on Russian logistics in the occupied territories, which is already forcing the occupying authorities to restrict traffic on key routes.
