NATO assesses impact of Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory

NATO officials have concluded that Ukrainian attacks deep into Russian territory are significantly degrading Moscow's capacity to sustain military operations. According to a senior NATO representative, these strikes disrupt Russian logistics networks, disable air defense systems and radar stations, damage energy infrastructure, and undermine public confidence within Russia. The Ukrainian campaign has proven particularly effective at targeting Russian supply lines in rear areas using unmanned aerial vehicles, with Ukrainian forces now capable of striking Russian logistics assets up to 200 kilometers behind the front line. This enhanced capability enables successful localized Ukrainian counteroffensives. The NATO official emphasized that Ukraine is now inflicting serious losses on Russian logistics depots, air defense systems, and energy infrastructure on both occupied territories and in border regions of Russia. In May alone, Ukrainian drone operations destroyed over 130 Russian logistics vehicles. Despite these mounting pressures, NATO intelligence suggests Russia has not abandoned its war aims against Ukraine, though Russian personnel losses have exceeded 1.4 million servicemembers. Recent Estonian intelligence reports indicate that military operations showed a certain reduction in intensity in early June.
