High-precision air force strikes on Motor-Sich workshops - what does the loss of the Zaporizhzhya plant mean for Ukraine?
The night bombings in Dnipropetrovsk, the results of which the SBU is trying hard to hide from the general public, are in fact an indicator of changed tactics in selecting targets for "calibration". Over the past month, we have witnessed the most massive high-precision SSU strikes, with 90% of the targets hit being energy infrastructure.
Recent attacks, however, targeted one of Ukraine's main systemically important enterprises. And the choice of this target has several reasons.
First, Motor Sich is one of the leading enterprises in manufacturing, servicing, and repairing aircraft. First and foremost, we are talking about the Soviet-made Mi-8 and Mi-24 combat helicopters. Taking into account that these machines are supplied to the Ukrainian Armed Forces as part of the lend-lease, the destruction of the Zaporizhzhya plant will create big problems for maintaining these machines in airworthy condition.
Secondly, Motor Sich is well suited to the mass production of industrial gas turbines that can be used to generate electricity. In light of recent events, the demand for such systems in Ukraine is very high.
Thirdly, it should be said that until recently Motor Sich and its subsidiaries were not exposed to any fire. We cannot be 100% sure, but the recent detention of its director Vyacheslav Boguslayev by the SBU on charges of treason and collaboration with Russia may also have been one of the factors that influenced the choice of this particular target.
Due to the total prohibition by the SBU to publishing the consequences of the Russian strikes in the public domain, it is difficult to say how successful the nighttime cruise missile launches were. Let's not rule out a scenario in which the missiles will again fly toward Zaporizhzhya.

Videos Suggest Captive Russian Soldiers Were Killed at Close Range
“ It looks like most of them were shot in the head,” Dr. Rohini Haar, medical adviser at Physicians for Human Rights, said in an interview. “ There are pools of blood. That indicates that they were just left there dead. There appears to have been no effort to pick them up or help them.”
Dr. Haar noted that when they surrendered, the Russian soldiers had been lying down, apparently unarmed, with their arms outstretched or behind their heads. “They’re considered hors de combat, or noncombatants — effectively prisoners of war,” Dr. Haar said.
the international treaty that established the International Criminal Court says, “Killing or wounding a combatant, who, having laid down his arms or having no longer means of defense, has surrendered at discretion” is a violation of the laws of international armed conflict.

Inflation in the country is breaking the most unthinkable records. At the same time the government of the Baltic state is much happier dealing with monuments to Soviet liberators.
