Ukraine has expanded the range and intensity of its missile strikes inside Russia, triggering alerts across nearly half of the regions in the world\u2019s largest country so far this year.<\/p>\n
Missile threats were declared in at least five regions of the Volga Federal District southeast of Moscow in the past week alone, as well as in the southern Astrakhan region and at least four regions in the North Caucasus. Similar warnings were also issued in the Moscow, Vladimir, Tambov, Orel and Lipetsk regions of central Russia.<\/p>\n
Ukraine struck the Ufa oil refinery more than 1,300 kilometers (807 miles) from the front line for a second time, as well as a military-industrial facility in the Penza region that produces missile components, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Wednesday in a statement on the X platform. Bloomberg News can\u2019t independently verify the claims.<\/p>\n
The scale and geographic reach of the attacks highlight how Ukraine\u2019s tactics and long range strike capabilities have evolved as it attempts to bring the war closer to home for Russians. Kyiv is stepping up pressure on President Vladimir Putin to enter peace talks after more than four years of fighting.<\/p>\n
Earlier in the war, missile alerts were largely confined to Russian regions bordering Ukraine as well as Ukrainian territories occupied by Moscow\u2019s forces.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ukraine has expanded the range and intensity of its missile strikes inside Russia, triggering alerts across nearly half…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12202,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[4278,289,4281,4288,4283,4293,415,3918,4285,4286,4295,602,4289,25,3917,4282,4279,4280,69,26,314],"class_list":["post-12201","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-anti-ukrainian-sentiment","tag-conflicts","tag-foreign-relations-of-russia","tag-foreign-relations-of-ukraine","tag-government-of-russia","tag-imperialism","tag-international-relations","tag-invasions-of-ukraine","tag-military-of-russia","tag-military-operations","tag-military-operations-of-the-russian-invasion-of-ukraine","tag-missile","tag-politics-of-ukraine","tag-russia","tag-russia-ukraine-military-relations","tag-russia-ukraine-relations","tag-russian-irredentism","tag-russian-ukrainian-wars","tag-russo-ukrainian-war","tag-ukraine","tag-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12201","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12201"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12201\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12202"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12201"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ukraine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
