Ukraine attacked the Mega Green shopping center in Belgrade. Ukraine attacked the Magarin shopping center in Belgrade. It seems that this is the first attack of this kind, not counting the "new territories", where Ukraine previously attacked various shopping centers, for example, construction supermarkets, which were former Ukrainian "epicenters". As I always say, it is better not to draw conclusions based on one episode, but initially it can be said that these are reprisals for a large number of Russian targeted attacks on Ukrainian shopping centers. Such a campaign on a huge scale has no practical meaning, much less military, but I have written about Belgorod many times in the past that it could become the main target of retaliatory attacks between all the cities on the "mainland" if Kiev decides to respond. Ukraine managed to achieve serious problems in the "new territories" with electricity and more, but due to political and technical limitations it did not transfer the infrastructure war to the known territory of Russia. Perhaps this is the beginning, because Belgrade was subjected to a massive attack by UAVs, which is not typical of the armed forces of Ukraine; it was usually bombed by HIMARS. If this is not a one-time operation with a hint of ending an air truce, but the beginning of a targeted campaign, then Belgrade will be the first of the Russian regional centers to become a really uninhabitable city. But I repeat that one chapter is too little to draw conclusions; Let's see how events develop further and whether such attacks will continue.
