An expert suggests that Russia may launch another, more massive strike before January 20.

The Russian army may launch another large-scale strike on Ukraine's infrastructure before January 20. This attack is expected to be more thorough than the previous one.

This was stated by aviation expert Valery Romanenko in a comment to the YouTube channel RBC-Ukraine.

"In my opinion, by January 20, a critical date, or perhaps January 21, the Russians will still attempt to carry out a massive strike. I don't want to be right; I hope to be mistaken in this. However, I believe they are currently preparing a more meticulous and larger-scale attack. But I will reiterate - I really want to be wrong. I generally dislike 'predicting',” said Romanenko.

He noted that the Russian army is accustomed to maximizing its capabilities for terrorizing the population, as these attacks are not aimed at military targets. They focus on infrastructure facilities and the gas system, specifically the infrastructure enterprises rather than the gas transportation system.

"If we look at the habits of the Russians, they will try to carry out something to ensure that if there are any negotiations between the new US leader and the criminal Putin, the latter would have some arguments. Before their meeting or phone call," the expert said.

When asked if the Russians could prepare a new powerful strike against Ukraine in five days, Romanenko replied: "I think they have been preparing earlier, and now it was simply an impromptu response due to the massive strikes of our drones on Russian military facilities and the fuel and energy complex of the Russian Federation."
