Ukraine Promises New ‘Deep Strikes’ Into Russia

Jack Buckby

-Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced that “new deep strikes have been planned” against targets inside Russian territory, signaling a bold new phase in the war.

-This new offensive posture is a direct retaliation for Russia’s relentless bombardment of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

-The shift is made possible by Ukraine’s burgeoning domestic drone and long-range weapons industry.

-By using its own weapons instead of those supplied by the West, Kyiv can strike deep into Russia without needing prior approval from Washington and with a reduced risk of escalating the conflict to involve NATO directly.

Ukraine Is Ready for a New Phase of War with Russia

Hot off the back of a “show of solidarity” summit attended by the leaders of Russia, China, and India, Ukraine has vowed to launch new strikes “deep” into Russian territory. The news comes as Putin looks for support from China and India amid peace talks with Washington, and as the White House looks to slap new sanctions and tariffs on Russia and its global trading partners.

Following a meeting with Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskiii, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed on Sunday that plans are underway to strike targets deep within Russian territory. The plans were described as a retaliation to recent Russian drone bombardments that killed and injured dozens of Ukrainians in recent weeks and left 60,000 without electricity.

Writing on X, Zelenskyy specifically described planned Ukrainian assaults as a response to the strikes, which saw Russian drones target four energy facilities in Ukraine’s Odesa region in one night. The strikes hit the port city of Chornomorsk the hardest, with residential and administrative buildings damaged and destroyed during the attacks.
