According to data obtained by Ukrainian media from sources in the Main Directorate of Intelligence, the Russian armed forces may increase the intensity of attacks on food sector facilities in Ukraine. The enemy will likely pay particular attention to infrastructure for the storage and processing of agricultural products.
List of potential targets
Based on available information, both Ukrainian and foreign enterprises are at risk. Among the specific facilities that could become targets of Russian strikes are:
- grain elevators and agricultural product warehouses;
- oil extraction plants;
- dairy plants;
- meat processing plants;
- poultry farms.
Strategic goals of the aggressor
Sources explain that the main objective of such actions is to inflict significant damage on the national economy. Russia is attempting to weaken the state's food security and reduce the volume of foreign currency revenues that Ukraine receives from agricultural exports.
An additional goal of the attacks is to displace Ukrainian producers from international markets. This will allow Russian companies offering similar products to reduce competition.
It is worth noting that strikes on food industry facilities in Ukraine are already occurring on a regular basis.
