Ukrainians attack targets in Russia
Ukraine regularly conducts attacks on Russian airbases and other military targets located in Russia. The purpose of this tactic is to destroy the infrastructure and resources used by Moscow to attack Ukraine’s critical infrastructure.
It was recently revealed that Russia managed to damage or destroy up to 70% of Ukrainian power plants. The planes capable of carrying missiles used to attack targets in Ukraine are launched from airports located in Russia.
