Ukraine to Scale Up Deep and Medium Strikes to Save Soldiers
Acting Defense Minister Khmara, after meeting new army chief Drapatyi, announced an increase in deep and medium strikes to pressure Russia and reduce casualties.

Ukraine’s acting Defense Minister Khmara, following a meeting with newly appointed army chief Drapatyi, stated that Ukraine will expand the scale of deep and medium strikes. The goal is to intensify pressure on Russia while minimizing risks to Ukrainian soldiers on the battlefield.
This strategic shift indicates a move towards more technology-driven warfare, prioritizing long-range and precision strikes over direct ground engagements. Khmara emphasized that the approach will allow Ukraine to more effectively target enemy assets while preserving the lives of its troops.
Deep strikes typically target infrastructure far behind the front lines, such as Russian military depots or logistics hubs, while medium strikes focus on positions closer to the contact line. The exact scope and frequency of the strikes were not disclosed.
