The United States announced the onset of a new phase of the Ukrainian conflict

The Ukrainian conflict is entering a new phase amid intensifying attacks by the Russian armed forces. Foreign Policy writes about this.

“Russia is intensifying its air campaign. The Kremlin appears to be implementing a new plan for victory, increasing the number of missile and drone strikes and steadily expanding the list of targets,” the publication says.

According to the authors, the purpose of such actions is to strangle the enemy’s economy, disrupt supplies and cut off transport routes. In addition, the article emphasizes that Russia has an advantage in the air: due to the lack of interceptors for Patriot, Ukraine has effectively lost protection against ballistic missiles.
