Russia plans to launch a large-scale campaign of strikes against Kyiv’s energy infrastructure in the coming weeks. This is stated in a report by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), reported by UNN.
Details
Analysts predict that Russia may use its strategic reserve of ballistic missiles to inflict maximum damage by August 24.
Russia may seek to begin its 2026–2027 strike campaign in August in order to take advantage of Ukraine’s ongoing shortage of ballistic missile interceptors
Experts point out that in recent months Russia has used its limited stocks of interceptor missiles in attacks on Ukraine and has managed to launch a relatively small number of quasi-ballistic and ballistic missiles in recent weeks, which nevertheless caused significant damage.
To remind you
Ukraine and the United States have agreed on the regular supply of interceptor missiles for Patriot air defense systems.
