"The more difficult it will be for the enemy to achieve any success on the frontline, the more it will hit civilian infrastructure, trying to force decisions it needs," said Lieutenant General.

He also noted that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin did not stop at terrorizing the population of his own country. Therefore, there is a prospect of scaling up terror against Ukrainian civilians and the rear.
