Explained in plain English

Why target logistics?

Ukraine's strikes on Ozon's warehouses aim to complicate enemy logistics. Logistics refers to the detailed organisation and implementation of a complex operation, like moving supplies. By hitting storage facilities, Ukraine disrupts Russia's ability to store and distribute goods, which could include items vital for their military operations, even if they are not strictly military supplies.
