Ukraine’s long-range strike campaign is becoming increasingly extensive, targeting Russian military infrastructure, logistics, and defense industry facilities while putting growing pressure on the Kremlin’s war effort.<\/p>\n

Over the past several days, Ukraine’s Defense Forces have carried out a series of successful strikes against Russian military assets. In temporarily occupied Crimea, a Pantsir-S1 air defense system was destroyed near Feodosia, while a vehicle ferry operating near Kerch was also hit. Ukrainian forces additionally struck Russian command posts in the Kharkiv and Belgorod regions,\u00a0UATV English<\/a>\u00a0reports.<\/p>\n

On the night of June 27, Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingo missiles hit the Titan-Barrikady defense plant in Volgograd, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said. The facility manufactures launchers and transporter-erector-launchers for the Iskander-M, Topol-M, and Yars missile systems, as well as Msta-B and Msta-S artillery systems.<\/p>\n

“Ukraine’s long-range strike geography continues to expand. Our pressure is laying the foundation for a dignified peace. I am grateful to every Ukrainian engineer and every warrior making these capabilities possible,” Zelenskyy said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) struck the Vtorovo oil pipeline dispatch station in Russia’s Vladimir region. According to Ukrainian intelligence, the facility is a key logistics hub supplying diesel fuel to the Moscow Ring Oil Products Pipeline and export terminals on the Baltic Sea.<\/p>\n

President Zelenskyy also approved a 40-day SBU operation aimed at increasing pressure on Russia and encouraging Moscow to move toward ending the war.<\/p>\n

“Our long-range operations and medium-range sanctions are being fully implemented. These are Ukraine’s just responses to Russia’s aggression. Russia started this war and must end it. We have presented proposals to both our key partners and those who maintain contacts with Putin. A meeting is possible, and ending this war is possible. Russia must take that step toward peace,” Zelenskyy stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to Ukraine’s Foreign Intelligence Service, long-range strikes have already forced Russia to reduce oil production by around 10% and suspend operations at roughly 400 oil wells during the first five months of 2026. Attacks on logistics infrastructure and export facilities have further disrupted Russian energy exports, while lower oil prices have increased pressure on the Kremlin’s ability to finance its military campaign.<\/p>\n

Analysts also note that Ukraine has intensified its long-range operations ahead of major international meetings, reinforcing calls for additional military assistance. During the G7 Summit, partners pledged further support for Ukraine’s air defense. At the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Gda\u0144sk, Ukrainian and Polish companies agreed to cooperate on drone production. The upcoming NATO summit in Ankara on July 7 is expected to focus heavily on continued military support for Ukraine, including discussions on a proposed \u20ac70 billion assistance package.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
