"In response to massive battlefield setbacks, Russia has increased its attacks
in Ukraine on everything from power plants and dams to railways, pipelines and
ports.

These attacks against civilian infrastructure are not random. Rather, they
reflect an insidious calculus integral to modern Russian military theory. For
more than 20 years, Russian military journals have emphasized the need to
conduct noncontact warfare and target critical infrastructure.

As a defense strategist with close to 20 years of military experience, I
believe the world should brace for additional strikes as Moscow seeks ways to
reestablish an upper hand in the conflict and make up for its declining
battlefield position."
