Russia attacks infrastructure in western Ukraine to slow supply lines

Railways, fuel depots and bridges are being targeted to hinder delivery of weapons to Donbas

While tanks and troops exchange fire in Donbas, Ukraine faces another escalating battle on an invisible front line, one that may be equally crucial to determining the outcome of the war.

Russia is stepping up attacks on infrastructure deep into western parts of the country that Moscow has admitted for now it cannot capture, striking targets that keep both the war effort and the national economy running, including the railway network, a critical bridge and fuel depots.
