Aleksey Arestovich believes that the Russian Federation does not have mechanisms to change the game's rules.

Russia once again attacked today, October 18, the energy infrastructure of Ukraine. According to Aleksey Arestovich, the adviser to the President's Office, such attempts by the Russian Federation are still not capable of changing the rules of the game of the Russian Federation on the battlefield.

He announced this on the web.

“The nuance of these outstanding efforts of the Russian Federation is that we will sit for some time with restrictions on water, light and heat. Our anti-aircraft artillery is already working, and a system for combating drones is being deployed. Domestic (and not only) strike drones in commercial quantities are on the way. Putinoids, after the failure of the heroic use of the mobilized and Iranian "shaheds", will cease to exist as an organized force capable of solving any big tasks, because they lack the social mechanisms for a significant new effort the size of mobilization and obtaining weapons, which once again can change the rules of the game," he wrote.

He added that one of the options Russia is considering is to buy ballistic missiles from Iran. However, Arestovich believes that Ukraine will soon find opposition to these weapons.

“Yes, the speed of Western supplies for me personally leaves nothing to be done, but the nuance is that these deliveries are carried out by a bloc of countries that holds 50% of the world economy, and a misunderstanding, barely 1.5%, is fighting against us - the result of the struggle is a little predictable."

• Today, October 18, Russia has continued to deliver massive terrorist strikes against the civilian and energy infrastructure of Ukraine. Two DTEK Energy facilities were damaged. Power equipment was seriously damaged. It is known that seven workers were injured, one died.
