Summary
Ukraine has launched one of its largest drone attacks to date, targeting Russian territory and occupied Crimea. The strikes hit oil refineries and military installations, with Kyiv stating the operation aims to force President Putin “to end the war.”
Details
The attack targeted multiple cities across Russia and Crimea, including Rosneft oil refineries and military facilities. Ukraine has been increasingly using long-range drone strikes as a strategic tool to raise the cost of the war for Moscow while peace negotiations remain stalled.
Analysis
The operation demonstrates Ukraine’s significantly enhanced remote strike capabilities. The “attack to negotiate” strategy aims to make the war tangible for Russian civilians and elites, potentially creating pressure for peace talks. However, escalation risks remain, as Moscow has vowed retaliatory responses.
