Putin is losing control – the US explained why Russia is intensifying attacks

Former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kerry Filipetti stated that successful long-range Ukrainian strikes on targets deep inside Russia are increasing the Kremlin's nervousness. Against this backdrop, the Russian army may be intensifying attacks on Ukraine, trying to compensate for its own problems at the front and put pressure on Ukrainian society.

Former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kerry Filipetti said in an interview with Fox News that successful long-range Ukrainian strikes on targets deep inside Russia are increasing the Kremlin's nervousness. According to her assessment, over the past year Ukraine has significantly expanded its capabilities for strikes on Russian territory, reaching areas near Moscow and St. Petersburg. Against this backdrop, the Russian army may be intensifying attacks on Ukraine, trying to compensate for its own problems at the front and put pressure on Ukrainian society. Filipetti noted that strikes on civilian infrastructure are used by Russia as a tool to pressure the population. She also stated that Russia is facing serious problems with army replenishment, and monthly losses exceed the capacity to recruit new soldiers.
