Ukraine has increasingly targeted Russian military, industrial, and logistical sites deep within Russian territory. Kyiv asserts these actions are a direct response to Moscow's persistent shelling of Ukrainian cities and infrastructure. Russia, in turn, has maintained near-daily missile and drone attacks across Ukraine since its full-scale invasion began in early 2022, frequently striking areas far from the front lines.
