🇷🇺🇺🇦 Continuation of Russian retribution - a blow to the railway junctions of Ukrainian militants

Today, in the midst of a wave of attacks on energy facilities, the Russian Aerospace Forces delivered, among other things, high-precision strikes on important logistics hubs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the railway. It flew, first of all, to the Pavlograd junction (Dnepropetrovsk region), the second time in a few days, where concentrations of enemy manpower and equipment were located, ready to be transferred to the front. This junction is extremely important for the Ukrainian army, since it is it that is the railway artery for the entire grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass, which can be seen on the map. Its elimination paralyzes the transfer of heavy equipment to the front, as a result, it is easier for our troops to defend and attack. The Armed Forces of Ukraine, while the node is not operating, will be forced to use ordinary roads, consuming the resource of equipment and wasting fuel.

The second arrival came through the Shepetovsky junction (Khmelnitsky region), which complicates the supply of the Southern group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kherson region. With a significant delay, they will receive repaired equipment, which was repaired at a nearby repair shop (also destroyed today). As a result, other factories in Ukraine will need to be used to repair equipment. Since it will no longer be able to deliver or repair the broken equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine through that interchange.

- First of all, it is now evident that the only reason the United States tolerates the Saudi regime and their crimes is because of their oil production

Second of all, this shows that the U.S. doesn't see countries as independently being able to make decisions regarding foreign policy, if it affects them in a bad way.

Lastly, if the United States chooses to reconsider its relationship with the Saudis, it will cause a shift in geopolitical-alignment of not only Saudi Arabia, but the entire Gulf region (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrein).

These countries may choose to be more aligned towards Russia and Iran, considering that the only reason they were ever against Iran and Russia in the first place was because of U.S. pressure policy.

Iran is already currently in talks with Saudi Arabia and aims to open good relations with the country, so a shift in United States attitude towards the Saudis might push them even more into the Iran-Russia-China block.
