SSU's 40-day operation plunging russia into irreversible crisis and pushing putin toward negotiations - Kurpas
Russia will be in turmoil and people will be standing in lines for gasoline for the next 40 days as part of an operation to force the enemy to make peace, which President Zelenskyy has instructed the SSU to carry out. Political analyst Oleksii Kurpas writes about this.
The expert believes that this 40-day marathon to force russia to make peace, launched by President Zelenskyy and SSU Director Yevhen Khmara, demonstrates a new approach. “russia must pay daily for its decision to continue the war. Not only on the front lines, but also in its own rear. This is precisely one of the SSU’s key roles today: not to wait for the enemy to launch a new attack. But to impose our own agenda on it, force it to live in constant tension, and gradually deprive it of the ability to wage war. So things will continue to be ‘cloudy’ for russia,” the political analyst emphasizes.
The expert stresses that every SSU drone carrying out a deep strike in russia brings putin’s defeat one step closer. “The Service consistently identifies critical points on which russia’s ability to continue the war depends, and expertly targets them: oil infrastructure, air defense systems, logistics, military production facilities, and ships. Everything that allows the aggressor to wage war. The 40-day operation is plunging russia into an irreversible crisis,” Kurpas emphasizes.
“The economic impact of the strikes on the oil and gas sector is enormous. Without gasoline and diesel, it’s impossible to harvest crops; one by one, various sectors of the economy will slow down. That’s why Ukraine’s greatest trump card is the SBU’s long-range strikes against russian refineries and other oil and gas facilities. Today, the Service has become one of the most effective tools for striking at russia’s military potential—not merely at the level of individual tactical operations, but at the level of strategic influence. That is precisely why the President’s directive to carry out a 40-day program of pressure on russia seems logical. This task was assigned to an agency that has repeatedly proven its ability to change the rules of the game in war,” the expert concludes.
As a reminder, it was previously reported that as part of the 40-day operation, the SSU struck the Vtorovo oil pumping station—which supplies fuel to the moscow oblast—for the second time in a month. The first strike by Yevhen Khmara’s subordinates on Kapotna was memorable to everyone for the striking footage of “a manhole cover from the refinery flying over moscow.” Subsequent strikes are further exacerbating gasoline shortages in the “gas station nation.”
