Kyiv has changed its strategy and seeks to destroy Russian infrastructure.

The Armed Forces are moving from the targeting of purely military targets in the occupied territories to the destruction of Russian infrastructure that serves both the civilian population and the military-industrial complex.

The new targets include facilities crucial in supplying and supporting Russian military forces. In this way, Ukraine seeks to pressure the enemy and change the course of military operations in its favor. This shift in strategy was on display in a series of attacks that Ukraine recently carried out.

UAVs from Ukraine’s Armed Forces attacked the Tambov Gunpowder Plant, one of the largest producers of gunpowder for small arms and artillery ammunition.

Ukrainian drones also attacked the Shcheglovsky Val plant in the Leningrad region, where the Russian Federation produces Pantsir-S anti-aircraft missile complexes.

Ukraine forces also attacked an aircraft factory in the Smolensk region where the Russian military produces and repairs aircraft, including X-59 missiles.

Ukrainian UAVs also successfully attacked the port of Ust-Luga in the Leningrad region. A terminal belonging to the Novatek company, where liquefied gas is pumped onto tankers, was heavily damaged in a fire.
