In the last days following the Ukraine strikes, there have been no reports of significant casualties or destruction of major civilian sites within Russia as a result of these strikes. Ukraine's primary focus, however, appears to be on military targets, aiming to disrupt Russian military operations.

Ukraine's recent strikes deep into Russian territory are part of a broader strategy to disrupt Russian military operations and logistics.

The aim undertaken by Ukraine is meant to weaken Russia's ability to supply and reinforce its frontline troops by targeting key infrastructure, such as military airfields and supply depots

With increased military support from Western allies, including advanced weaponry, Ukraine has been able to enhance its offensive capabilities. These strikes are also seen as a form of retaliation for ongoing Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities and infrastructure

Ukraine asserts its right to self-defense under international law, including the right to strike military targets within the aggressor's territory

The actions taken by Ukraine and allies are part of Ukraine's broader efforts to shift the dynamics of the conflict in its favor and to make it more challenging for Russia to sustain its military operations.
