Where it stands
Ukraine has updated its air defense tactics, utilizing midrange drones to target Russian supply lines and striking refineries with an elevenfold increase. In June, Ukrainian drones struck 32 Russian air defense systems.
An elite unit is also reportedly conducting missions aimed at bringing the war closer to Moscow. Coverage from The New York Times, AP News, and Українська правда emphasizes that while these tactical shifts have reshaped the battlefield, they remain insufficient against Russia.
