Ukraine changes tactics and strikes Russian logistics behind the front. A fund of $112 million was allocated for this.

Ukraine is increasing attacks on Russian logistics in the area between the front line and strategic targets deep inside Russian territory. This is the so-called "middle strike" zone, roughly between 30 and 200 kilometers from the front.
The new strategy aims to hit warehouses, air defense systems, command posts, military equipment, and supply routes. The goal is simple: to reduce Russia's ability to sustain constant attacks on the front.
Kyiv's Defense Ministry says the Ukrainian army is trying to regain the initiative on the front, while continuing long-range strikes on targets such as refineries and airfields. Now, the focus is also shifting to the intermediate zone, where Russian troops coordinate their supply and operations.
Why strikes between 30 and 200 kilometers from the front matter
This zone is essential for any army on the offensive. There are ammunition depots, trucks, command centers, reserve equipment, and points that supply front-line units.
For the first phase of the program, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense and the General Staff allocated approximately $112.6 million for the acquisition of modern medium-range strike systems. The money will go directly to military units through the ePoints system, especially to the brigades with the best results.
In parallel, Kyiv is preparing centralized acquisitions for a larger number of such systems. Among the capabilities targeted are drones such as the FP-2, Hornet, and Bulava, which can operate from tens to hundreds of kilometers. Some of them can operate autonomously in the final phase of flight, scanning the terrain and identifying targets without constant remote control.
