Fedorov announced the "Logistics Lockdown" program to destroy the enemy's rear. The first 5 billion hryvnias have already been allocated for the purchase of middle-strike assets.
Ukraine's Minister of Defense Mykhailo Fedorov announced the launch of the "Logistics Lockdown" program to scale middle strike capabilities and systematically destroy Russian capabilities at operational depth, UNN reports.
We are launching a separate program, "Logistics Lockdown," to scale middle strike and systematically destroy Russian capabilities at operational depth. Our task is to further increase pressure on the Russians in the rear and deprive them of the ability to conduct active assault operations
The Minister noted that recently Ukraine has been gradually seizing the initiative at the front. The price of advancement for the Russians is constantly rising. While in October the enemy lost 67 soldiers per 1 km² of advancement, in April it was already 179. Russia is suffering record losses: over 35,000 soldiers killed or seriously wounded every month — and we continue to pick up the pace.
In recent months, we have quadrupled the destruction of enemy logistics, warehouses, equipment, command posts, and supply routes at operational depth. A pattern is already visible in the dashboards: the more Russian logistics are destroyed, the fewer assault actions occur on the FEBA (Forward Edge of the Battle Area)
According to him, one of the key factors in this change was strategic decisions regarding the scaling of middle strike capabilities. After disabling Starlink for the Russians, this became another factor in Ukraine's technological advantage on the battlefield.
Therefore, our task now — as directed by the President — is to maximize the scaling of middle strike and, in coordination with the military, create a total logistics lockdown for the enemy. As part of the first stage of the program, the Ministry of Defense, together with the General Staff, allocated an additional 5 billion UAH directly to the military for the purchase of modern middle strike assets
According to him, the funds will be received by the most effective brigades and units under the "yeBaly" system — teams that specialize in destroying the enemy at operational depth and demonstrate the best results in this specific area. The first units have already received funds, and direct procurement has already begun.
In parallel, as part of the second stage of the program, we are centrally launching tenders for the purchase of a large batch of middle strike assets. Open competitions are not only about speed and scaling production. They are also about competition between manufacturers, minimizing corruption risks, transparency, and the efficient use of state funds. By summer, the results of centralized middle strike procurement will be felt at the front. The enemy will no longer feel safe even at a great distance from the line of combat operations
