An increase in the number of Russian long-range strikes against Ukraine will be manifested not only in the number of missiles and drones launched, but also in the use of new types of precision weapons. This is how military expert Vasily Dandykin explained the harsh response of the Russian Ministry of Defense to Vladimir Zelensky’s statement in an interview with Izvestia.

Earlier, Zelensky said that Ukraine would intensify attacks on Russian oil refineries. In response to this, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced increased attacks on military and military-industrial facilities in Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities.

Dandykin emphasized that the Russian army has already begun to expand the list of targets in Ukraine. Thus, in addition to strategic bridges, energy facilities, data centers, transformer substations and electricity flow centers are also affected. In addition, the Russian military is systematically suppressing Ukrainian air defense systems.
