Zelensky Confirms Long-Range Strikes on Russia: Targets Over 2,000 km Away.
Continued Attacks on Military Targets Inside Russia
According to UATV: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced that his forces will keep carrying out deep strikes against military assets on Russian soil as a direct response to ongoing aggression. He confirmed that Ukraine's defense units are targeting strategic infrastructure belonging to the aggressor.
“This year, we started hitting them hard. So rage must be met with a response,” Zelensky stated, emphasizing the need for a proportional reaction to the enemy's actions.
One recent operation involved Ukrainian drones striking an oil refinery in Tyumen, a facility located more than 2,000 kilometers from Ukraine’s border. Notably, the new drones used in these missions have a range exceeding 3,000 kilometers.
“They strike us every day, and we will respond every day,” the president added, highlighting the regularity and consistency of Ukraine's countermeasures.
Attacks on Civilian Infrastructure
Additionally, in territory controlled by Russian forces, the sea port in occupied Mariupol has been left without electricity. This demonstrates that Ukrainian strikes are aimed not only at military sites but also at the infrastructure that sustains the aggressors.
“This is an element of justice, which the world has yet to see applied to Russia,” Volodymyr Zelensky concluded, pointing to the necessity of a fair response to Russia's actions.
These developments show that Ukraine’s leadership remains committed to an active strategy against aggression, seeking to degrade the enemy’s military capabilities and reduce its ability to launch further attacks.
Ukraine's next moves in this conflict could significantly shape the military landscape of the region. The use of long-range drones highlights the growing technological prowess of the Ukrainian armed forces, potentially altering the war's balance of power. At the same time, strikes on civilian infrastructure—such as the power outage in Mariupol—underscore the risk of increased civilian suffering, a concern that continues to trouble the international community.
