UK defense chief Tony Radakin stated that Ukraine will increase long-range strikes against Russia as Western aid enables Kyiv to shape the war more effectively.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces will increase the number of long-range strikes against Russia as the influx of Western aid will enable Kyiv to shape the war in much more powerful ways.

Ukraine's defenses are not in the best shape at the moment as fierce fighting is underway to repel the onslaught of Russian invasion troops.

Longer-term trends working in Kyiv's favor include recent defense aid packages from the U.S. and Europe, Ukraine's increasingly effective long-range strike capability, and Moscow's total failure to 'choke off' Ukraine's vital grain exports via the Black Sea.

As Ukraine gains more capabilities for the long-range fight, its ability to continue deep operations will increasingly become a feature of the war.

Russian forces are likely to intensify ongoing offensive operations, as well as their missile and drone strikes, in the coming weeks to take advantage of the time gap before the U.S. defense package arrives in Ukraine.

Ukraine will increase the number of long-range strikes on Russian territory as the influx of Western military aid aims to assist Kyiv in waging war in much stronger ways.
