  • Ukraine has updated its list of priority targets for long-range strikes against Russia, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced.
  • The announcement follows a week of Ukrainian long-range attacks targeting Russian logistics centers, marking a shift from previous strikes on oil refineries and military sites.
  • This updated target list comes amid ongoing Ukrainian drone campaigns against Russian infrastructure.

Ukraine has compiled a new list of priority targets for its long-range strikes within Russia, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced Sunday following a meeting with military leaders. The Kyiv Independent reported the update.

The announcement comes after a week of successive Ukrainian long-range attacks targeting the logistics centers of Russia's largest online retailer, Wildberries. These strikes against Wildberries signify a new phase in Ukraine's drone campaign, which had previously concentrated on Russian oil refineries, military installations, and energy infrastructure.

Zelenskyy's statement indicates a strategic recalibration in Ukraine's approach to striking Russian territory, potentially broadening the scope of targets beyond purely military or energy-related assets. The focus on logistics centers suggests an aim to disrupt supply chains and economic operations within Russia.
