Escalation of Deep Strikes
Russian Skies Declared Unsafe: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has publicly warned airlines that Russian airspace is now “full of our drones and not safe.” He recently ordered the Ukrainian military to triple its daily long-range strikes into Russian territory.

Targeting Logistics and Infrastructure: Ukraine has launched massive waves of drones targeting the Moscow region, specifically hitting major logistics hubs and warehouses—including those belonging to Russian e-commerce giant Wildberries—as well as oil supply infrastructure to disrupt the Russian economy.

Drone Factory Sabotage: Vladimir Tkachuk, a Russian drone factory director who previously showcased equipment to President Vladimir Putin, was seriously injured in a recent targeted car explosion.

Crimea Shooting: Inside Russian-held Crimea, a Russian serviceman opened fire on fellow soldiers and civilians, killing four people and wounding four others before being apprehended.
