Ukraine Just Showed Russia What's Coming

Ukraine's long-range campaign appears to be entering a new phase. Overnight strikes targeted oil refineries, pumping stations, military infrastructure, occupied Mariupol, and a shadow-fleet tanker in the Black Sea. At the same time, Ukrainian officials are discussing plans for missile systems capable of reaching 2,000 kilometers and the mass production of a new air-defense missile designed as a lower-cost alternative to the Patriot system. Meanwhile, Russia continues its large-scale drone attacks against Ukrainian cities, even as battlefield progress remains limited. The contrast is becoming increasingly clear: Russia is trying to wear Ukraine down, while Ukraine is expanding its ability to strike deeper into Russia's military and energy infrastructure. The bigger question is whether these trends point toward a fundamentally different stage of the war.
