Russia is feeling the strain of its own war as the latest phase of the conflict begins to bite directly into domestic fuel supplies and weaken the wider Russian economy. The UK, one of Ukraine’s strongest international backers since the full‑scale invasion in February 2022, said it remains “committed to providing the equipment Ukraine needs to defend itself against [President Vladimir] Putin’s illegal invasion,” according to the Ministry of Defence.
Russia still controls around one‑fifth of Ukrainian territory, but Ukraine has stepped up pressure with a wave of home‑grown drone and missile technology, including its FP‑5 Flamingo cruise missile. In the past 48 hours alone, Ukrainian forces have launched hundreds of drones toward the Moscow region.
Moscow regional governor Andrey Vorobyov said a 10‑year‑old girl was injured, and a Wildberries warehouse was damaged in the strikes. The attacks highlight Ukraine’s growing ability to hit targets deep inside Russia, even as the war grinds into its third year.
Meanwhile, Russia’s own assaults continue to inflict heavy civilian casualties. Seventeen people were killed in the latest wave of Russian attacks across Ukraine, including 10 victims in a village in the north‑east. The strikes underscore the relentless human cost of a conflict that shows no sign of slowing.
As Ukraine expands its technological capabilities and Russia faces mounting economic pressure, the war is entering a volatile new chapter one defined by long‑range strikes, shifting vulnerabilities and escalating civilian suffering on both sides.
