Russia may be trying to cut off the supply of Western weapons with its strikes on Western Ukraine near the border with Poland, former chief of the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces Mieczysław Czeńuch said during an interview with national radio, quoted by Ukrinform, BTA reported.
According to him, the Russian attacks, carried out increasingly close to the Polish border, are probably aimed at disrupting the logistical routes along which military aid from the allies arrives in Ukraine.
„The supply corridor from Poland and Romania is currently under the sights of the Russian army. The goal is to make it difficult for the allies to supply weapons. Winter is approaching, so cutting off the supply routes will be of great importance. We must prepare for an escalation“, said Chenyukh.
