Ukraine's deep-strike campaign is increasingly imposing significant costs on Russia, extending far beyond the immediate battlefield and stressing its rear areas. Kyiv's strikes have reached targets in Moscow, including the Kapotnya Refinery, which was hit twice in three days in June, causing large explosions and fires. This campaign also targets Russia's occupation of Crimea, aiming for a "logistics lockdown" by striking fuel supply, rail access, power grids, air-defense networks, and rear-area military movements.
Ukraine's medium-range strike program, utilizing AI-assisted drones, has led to a fuel crisis in Sevastopol, with rationing and suspended gasoline sales, and has damaged critical infrastructure like the Feodosiia Maritime Oil Terminal and the Chonhar Bridge. Recent attacks also destroyed the railway bridge over the North Crimean Canal and hit energy systems, causing widespread blackouts across Crimea. Ukraine is also suppressing Russia's local air-defense and ISR architecture, hitting systems like Orion drone launchers and Nebo-U radars. Furthermore, Ukraine launched TrophyLab, a platform sharing intelligence from captured Russian weapons, covering over 115 systems, to accelerate countermeasure development for allies.
