The announcement was followed by an uptick in the Ukrainian attacks on Russia’s energy infrastructure and maritime traffic presumed to carry Russian oil, as well as assorted civilian sites.
Russia has described the ramped-up Ukrainian strikes as indiscriminate “terrorist attacks” staged to distract from frontline setbacks, and has responded with renewed long-range strikes of its own. The Russian military maintains it never targets purely civilian facilities in Ukraine, striking dual-use and military industrial sites.
The bulk of the Russian strikes have been focused on the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, with multiple military plants, drone assembly and storage facilities, and weaponry stockpiles targeted over the past weeks.
