The Russian Ministry of Defense today confirmed that Moscow conducted missile attacks on Ukrainian defense production facilities and hit all set targets.

The Russian Defense Ministry said the attacks were carried out using air- and ground-launched missiles targeting Ukrainian missile, explosives and ammunition production facilities.

According to experts, Russia has changed its previous missile strategy to a new strategy that could have more serious impacts on Ukraine's efforts on the battlefield.

Moscow has targeted the "lifeblood" of Ukraine's arms industry and the logistics route used by Ukraine to deliver these weapons to the front line, in a context where Kiev's ability to produce its own weapons becomes important. more than ever because Western military aid has declined.

Although Russia continues to attack Ukraine's energy infrastructure, it has changed its attack strategy and goals. Moscow has targeted Ukrainian equipment, including weapons factories or weapons on their way to the front lines.

Russia also acknowledges this strategy, recently announcing it targeted and attacked ammunition and drone production facilities in Ukraine. These are two of Ukraine's most effective weapons in repelling Russian forces.

The strategy comes at a critical time for Ukraine, as Kiev ramps up production of weapons and ammunition amid delays in military aid from allies.
