Strikes on Russian military targets

Recently, Ukraine has significantly intensified its strikes on Russia's energy infrastructure, setting a record for the number of attacks since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces have focused particular attention on maritime infrastructure. In particular, Lukoil's oil and gas fields in the Caspian Sea have been attacked repeatedly.

Earlier, Ukrainian special forces carried out a series of successful attacks on Russian airfields. As a result, 15 aircraft were destroyed or damaged, causing Russian losses of over $1 billion and weakening their strikes on Ukraine.
