KYIV, April 26 — A senior Ukrainian security source told AFP today that Russia had increased attacks on railway infrastructure with the aim of disrupting movement of military cargo that includes Western aid.
Russian forces have firepower and manpower advantages over Ukrainian forces across the front line and Kyiv has warned that fighting will be especially difficult over the coming weeks.
The uptick in deadly attacks is intended to destroy train facilities and “paralyse deliveries and movement of military cargo” ahead of a planned Russian offensive, the source said.
