IS ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE MILITARY OR CIVILIAN?
Power infrastructure has long been considered a valid military objective as long as it supports an enemy army's activities, even if the system also supports the civilian population, writes military law expert Michael Schmitt in the Articles of War blog run by the Lieber Institute for Law & Warfare at the United States Military Academy West Point.
As Russia's strikes on the power infrastructure have intensified, it seems increasingly unlikely that its armed forces can name a "definite" military benefit for each attack.
"Simply put, Russian forces are almost certainly striking many targets that do not qualify as military objectives," Schmitt argues.
Russia says it attacks military targets including energy infrastructure.
