Unclear why Ukraine leaves working industrial facilities for Russia – expert Sniehyriov

He shared his opinions with Espreso TV.

“A rather strange situation arises when the occupiers wipe Ukrainian cities off the face of the earth, making them uninhabitable, while the industrial infrastructure remains in working condition. In Novohrodivka, the mines have come under the control of the occupiers with a working drainage system,” noted Sniehyriov.

According to the military expert, the Donetsk Military Administration should address the following questions: Why does Ukraine leave the mines in working condition for the occupying forces? Why does it not cut off the power supply and flood industrial facilities that will subsequently operate for the Russian economy, even without investment in their restoration?

“Unfortunately, there are quite a few examples of such cases when Ukraine's industrial infrastructure is transferred to the occupiers in working order. Let's recall Bakhmut, when the Wagner PMC fighters demonstrated the amount of captured industrial equipment and finished products of the famous champagne factory. No one asked the question: what happened?” Sniehyriov emphasized.

• On October 7, 172 combat clashes took place on the frontline between the two armies. Russian forces fired 4,420 times at the territory of Ukraine.
• The situation in the Toretsk sector is the most tense and unstable, with fighting going on for every single house.
• Nazar Voitenkov, acting press officer of the 33rd Brigade, noted that Kurakhove is under constant fire from multiple rocket launchers, artillery and FPV drones.
