Western-supplied equipment allows Ukrainian forces to carry out attacks at night because it provides Ukrainian forces with “better” night vision, a prominent Russian milliner said.

Zaporozhye regional occupation official Vladimir Rokov said nighttime attacks allow Ukrainian forces to more effectively use Western-supplied equipment.

Ukrainian forces have launched or intensified nighttime attacks in recent days, and Ukrainian forces may increasingly take advantage of the advantages offered by Western organizations.
