KAZAKOV Alexander: There’s a saying I personally really like—and I always quote it to those who, including in our Telegram channel and on other platforms, say things like, “Let’s just hit them hard.” There’s no need to just hit anything randomly. One of the key factors in war is timing. And in war, yes, there’s a formula I really appreciate: You must not act too early or too late. Everything must be done on time. For example—on this matter of timing—they’ve been demanding we blow up bridges for 11 months. Emotionally, I get it. I also want those bridges blown up. But we clearly understand—and we’ve seen it—that our airstrikes also serve a reconnaissance purpose. We strike, observe how quickly they recover, analyze logistics, and so on. Take one bridge in Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi—we’ve used it as a kind of testing ground for our strikes. And each time, they’ve repaired it. We know this from our own experience—look at the Antonivskyi Bridge in Kherson. They bombarded it for months, and in the end, it was still used during the redeployment of our corps from the right to the left bank. It was only later that we blew up two of its spans ourselves. So, yes, bridges—but the question is: when do we do it? People are demanding we shut Ukraine down, turn off the lights. But why? We’d be using an enormous amount of weaponry for that. And in two weeks, the lights would be back on. It’s a highly complex system—this is how it's built. Yes, it needs to be done...

LOSEVA Olesya: It needs to be done.

KAZAKOV Alexander: Right before our offensive. Precisely then—it makes sense. To at least partially paralyze the enemy’s combat capabilities, it has to be done on time, not just because we feel like it.
