Russia intensifies strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure to cripple economy

Source Summary

Russia has launched a new air campaign targeting Ukrainian economic infrastructure, including warehouses, steel plants, ports, and railways. The strikes have deprived Kyiv of more than $1.5 billion in tax revenue. The campaign represents a shift toward economic warfare as part of Russia's broader military strategy.

Why it matters

The targeting of economic infrastructure directly undermines Ukraine's ability to fund its government and war effort, creating a dual military and fiscal pressure on Kyiv.
