The announcement follows a week of consecutive Ukrainian attacks on logistics hubs owned by Wildberries, Russia’s largest online retailer. The Wildberries strikes signaled a new development in Ukraine’s drone campaign, which has previously focused on Russian oil refineries, military facilities, and energy infrastructure.

Zelensky’s meeting with the military’s top brass on July 26 centered on Ukraine’s “long-range sanctions” against Russia — strikes deep within Russia and occupied territories launched with domestically produced Ukrainian weapons.

Ukraine is now able to strike targets at a distance of over 3,000 kilometers (approximately 1,864 miles), Zelensky said, and is working to extend operating capabilities even further.

As Ukraine continues its long-range drone campaign, major airports across Russia have been repeatedly forced to suspend operations, reroute flights, and ground aircraft.

In July alone, nearly every day of the month, at least one formally operating Russian airport shut down temporarily.

Hundreds of domestic and international flights were canceled or diverted, stranding thousands of passengers and exposing a vulnerability the Kremlin can no longer conceal.

“This hits the morale of the Russian people,” Ivan Stupak, a military commentator and former officer of Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU), told the Kyiv Independent.

“They’re used to seeing the war only through YouTube — so they just turn off YouTube, and suddenly it feels like the war is not real.

“But with what we’re doing, we’re sending a clear message — the war is very real, and your comfort lies in our hands.”
