The Ukrainian Defense Forces burned a train carrying Russian tanks between temporarily occupied Tokmak and Chernihivka in Zaporizhia Oblast. The Russians recently repaired the track there after previous strikes by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

This was announced by the head of the Center for the Study of the Occupation, Petro Andryuschenko,  Censor.NET reports  with reference to Suspilne. 

According to him, as a result of the operation, five tanks were burned to the ground, and 15 were towed away by the Russian invaders.

After the hit, a large-scale fire broke out, and the infrastructure was again put out of action, complicating Russian logistics.

“Fuel is the lifeblood of the front, and there is no way without it. This is the third train that has been stopped perfectly. There is one track in the Zaporizhia region, one single branch that goes to Melitopol, Tokmak, Rozivka. Therefore, when the track is damaged, like now, and this is the main track, they will be forced to spend time repairing it,” Andryuschenko noted.

In addition, the destruction of the military train causes damage to the Russian economy.

“In this way, we are hitting not only the front, but also the Russian economy, because the Russian economy does not think of anything else than shifting these taxes to the ordinary Russian. The Russian must pay more: more for oil at gas stations, for products that are becoming more expensive because fuel is becoming more expensive,” he added.

Let us recall that in June, a Russian train with tanks was hit near occupied Tokmak in the Zaporizhia region , and 11 fuel tanks were on fire. Джерело: https://censor.net/ua/v3562647
