Russians are now actively attacking Ukrainian construction equipment on the front, said military expert Serhii Beskrestnov with call sign "Flash" on an interviev with Radio NV on April 25.
“Right now, Russians are actively attacking Ukrainian construction equipment," Beskrestnov said.
"They realize that we are on defensive, and all our equipment is being used to build defense lines. Therefore, strange as it may sound, for example, excavators and bulldozers are no less important to them than tanks."
According to military expert, occupiers track where Ukrainian construction equipment is headed, calculating moments when it accumulates and destroys it.
