Zelenskyy Orders 40-Day Blitz Against Russian Targets
Ukrainian forces conducted a 40-day operation targeting Russian oil refineries and depots, aiming to pressure Russia into ending the war. Meanwhile, occupied Crimea experienced power outages following Ukrainian strikes, exacerbated by fuel shortages. In Belarus, Russian relay stations used for attacks on Ukraine were reportedly deactivated, though concerns remain about Belarus’s continued military infrastructure development along the Ukrainian border. Ukraine is also advancing plans for a European missile defence system, with interceptors potentially ready by year’s end.
