the longer the striking range of udf becomes, the more vulnerable russian infratsructure will become. not only the army will suffer, civilians as well.
russia has been very careful to avoid civilian casualties during this conflict. it could well change if kiev wishes it to.
it’s turning into a war on oil in reality .very much so an energy war in.disguise to force nuclear power into every commune.or slave yard. really. they actually do privately call them cells ,not communities.
well done, ukraine 👍
