Russian forces have intensified long‑range attacks on Ukrainian military industry and dual‑use critical infrastructure sites in recent weeks.
The strikes have employed a range of weapons, including kamikaze drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles, indicating a coordinated effort to disrupt key production and logistical nodes.
Officials justify the campaign as a response to attacks on civilian infrastructure, citing a need to counter what they describe as escalating threats to their own population centers.
These developments come after a series of battlefield setbacks for Ukrainian forces, prompting a shift toward more aggressive aerial and missile operations.
