Ukraine launched a massive wave of long-range strikes reaching over 1,000 kilometers into Russia this week to degrade military industry and challenge the Kremlin's image of control.
Domestic "Flamingo" cruise missiles hit a defense plant in Cheboksary, while hundreds of drones targeted oil terminals and naval bases in St. Petersburg. The timing was intentional, occurring during the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum to show visiting delegates that Russia is vulnerable even in Putin's hometown. These strikes specifically targeted factories producing missile antennas and oil infrastructure supplying the invasion forces.
Kyiv has signaled that these deep operations will continue to increase in frequency until Moscow faces an unsustainable cost for its invasion.
