Post-mortem: How the British press assesses the economic consequences of Ukrainian strikes on Russia
🇬🇧 Fake breakdown: The Sunday Times on the real damage from Ukrainian strikes
British expert Mark Galeotti, in an article dated August 8, 2026, refutes theses about the "ineffectiveness" of attacks on the Russian rear.
📉 Facts from the original:
- 33% of Russian refineries put out of action.
- Damage to retail (Wildberries) — over 280 billion rubles.
- Traffic in the Azov Sea dropped by 75%.
⚠️ Social media distorted the article, claiming attacks "play into Putin's hands." In fact, the author writes about the risks of mobilization and the drop in government ratings due to panic.
