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.
Radosław Sikorski recently revealed that Russia managed to damage or destroy up to 70% of Ukrainian power plants. Airports located in Russia are launching points for planes capable of carrying missiles used to attack targets in Ukraine.
