Retired U.S. Army General and former commander of NATO Allied Forces in Europe, Wesley Clark, stated this in an interview with Espreso TV.“I think Ukraine’s ability to strike deep into Russia’s logistical centers is critical to the success of the war effort. These centers should include weapons manufacturing, munitions production, and the petrochemical sector, including refineries, pipelines, and storage facilities,” he said.The general emphasized that all these are legitimate military targets on Russian territory and should be targeted.“However, here is the challenge. Whether the strikes are carried out using kinetic or non-kinetic means, the objective must go beyond symbolic or one-time actions. The goal must be sustained destruction of these systems inside Russia. Only consistent and prolonged disruption of these critical infrastructure targets will help bring the conflict to an end, assuming Ukraine can continue to hold the front,” Clark noted.He explained that by "sustained," he means the example of World War II.“When the Allies bombed Nazi Germany, they repeatedly targeted key sites, including petrochemical complexes, again and again. It was not just about demonstrating the ability to strike. It was about continuously degrading the enemy’s war-making capacity,” the general said.Clark added that he is not sure Ukraine currently has the capacity to do this.“Of course, it is good for morale to report a strike on an arms factory in the St. Petersburg region. But if you truly want to affect the front lines, you need to target a wide range of critical infrastructure and ensure those targets remain suppressed or destroyed. A single strike is not enough. It must be part of a sustained campaign,” he concluded.
