General Hnatov, Chief of the General Staff, stated that Ukraine has the capability to strike Moscow in response to a possible blackout imposed by Russia. President Zelensky previously assured that if Russia imposes a blackout on Ukraine, Moscow would receive a reciprocal response.
The situation in Ukraine's energy regions remains critical. Rolling blackouts have been introduced in Chernihiv, Sumy, and Poltava regions. The expert emphasizes that, instead of publicly announcing strikes, actions should be discreet, as Ukraine's intelligence agencies operate.
Moscow is described as the most protected region in Russia, boasting a dense air defense system. The energy attack strategy is based on carefully selected targets, considering the cost-benefit balance. Mass drone attacks are effective only with sufficient funding and operational resources.
The discussion touches on the production and export of Ukrainian drones, noting the financing difficulties and questioning the wisdom of transferring technologies to the US or other countries. The relative technological simplicity of drones doesn't guarantee rapid replication, and possible corruption in wartime is also considered.
The conversation addresses attracting investment into arms production and highlights the startup culture that prioritizes potential over immediate profit. Ukraine's realities bring specific challenges to both domestic and foreign investment approaches.
