Experts have noted that in June, there was considerable anticipation within Ukraine that sustained strikes targeting Russian logistics—both within temporarily occupied zones and deep inside Russian territory—would significantly degrade the Russian military’s offensive capabilities. However, analysis suggests these calculations have not fully materialized. Despite reports of significant losses sustained by occupying forces, the overall strategic situation appears only partially affected.
On the political front, some statements, such as those by V. Zalužny, have been viewed as attempts to influence the internal political narrative of Ukraine, though these efforts are reportedly inaccurate. Meanwhile, reports from Ukrainian military personnel indicate a sharp escalation in the intensity of Russian aerial assaults.
The utilization of weaponry by Russian forces has increased, with greater deployment of kamikaze drones, air bombs, and long-range systems. An expert observing these patterns noted that the tactics appear to be becoming more systematic; for instance, the use of the forest belt area for operations is reportedly increasing in frequency. This persistent military activity contrasts with the initial optimistic mood regarding the swift degradation of Russian operational capacity.
The current dynamic suggests that while Ukraine continues to exert pressure, the Russian military maintains a persistent and escalating level of air engagement across multiple fronts.
