The Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked logistical facilities on Russian territory, which may create significant pressure on the Russian army. The Institute for the Study of War reported this in its report.

Ukrainian forces used HIMARS missile strikes in the summer of 2022 on ammunition depots in occupied territories, forcing the Russians to redistribute their arsenals and reducing the efficiency of their logistics.

Analysts of the Institute believe that similar attacks on ammunition depots in Russia, as in Toropets, could force the Russian command to review their support and logistics systems.

The Russian military has likely not addressed vulnerabilities at many logistical facilities by creating shelters. Lifting restrictions on the use of Western systems and further development of Ukraine's own long-range strike capabilities could allow the Armed Forces of Ukraine to more effectively exploit these enemy vulnerabilities

Experts are confident that further strikes by the Ukrainian army on ammunition and missile depots could destroy a significant portion of Russian material supplies.

Strikes by Ukrainian forces on targets within Russian territory could impact offensive operations across the entire theater of operations. This will happen if the Defense Forces have the material base, capabilities, and permission to conduct a large-scale campaign of strikes on logistical and support facilities within Russian territory

Analysts also note that if Ukrainian forces have enough resources to conduct a large-scale campaign of strikes on logistical and support facilities in Russia, it could seriously impact enemy offensive operations across the entire theater of operations.

Recall, the occupiers shelled Kharkiv: a fire broke out.
