Zelensky:

I examine Ukraine’s reported Neptune missile strike on Borisoglebsk airfield in Russia’s Voronezh region, roughly 340 kilometers from the border. Ukraine says six Su-34 fighter-bombers were damaged; satellite imagery and Russian aviation commentary provide partial corroboration, with the strongest available evidence suggesting four aircraft may have been destroyed beyond repair. The larger question is strategic: aircraft used to launch glide bombs at Ukrainian frontline towns remain vulnerable when Russia relies on airfields too close to the war.

I also cover the reported strike on the Ryazan oil refinery after Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine would resume attacks on Russian energy facilities, Russia’s 580-drone barrage, and the strike on an Odesa supermarket. Russia’s response—calls for aircraft dispersal, concrete shelters, camouflage, and rapid debris removal—reveals the operational pressure created by long-range Ukrainian strikes. I assess the Patriot-interceptor bargain Zelensky proposed and why sanctions-relief signals may shape Moscow’s escalation calculus.
