The defense secretary revealed the details.
Already this summer, the Russian army should feel a "logistical lockdown" thanks to the strengthening of middle strikes on the Russian rear. This was announced by Ukrainian Defense Minister Mikhail Fedorov on Facebook.
"We are launching a separate program "Logistical Lockdown" to scale middle strike and systematically destroy Russian capabilities at operational depth. Our task is to further increase pressure on the Russians in the rear and deprive them of the ability to conduct active assault operations," Fedorov said.
The minister said that as part of the first phase of the program, the Defense Ministry, together with the General Staff, allocated an additional UAH 5 billion directly to the military for the purchase of modern middle strike capabilities.
"The funds will go to the most effective brigades and eBali units - teams that specialize in destroying the enemy at operational depth and demonstrate the best results exactly It is also competition between manufacturers, minimization of corruption risks, transparency and effective use of public funds," Fedorov said.
The defense minister noted that recently Ukraine has been gradually seizing the initiative on the front. "The price of advancement for the Russians is constantly growing. If in October the enemy was losing 67 military per 1 km² of advancement, in April - already 179. Russia is suffering record losses: more than 35,000 military killed or seriously wounded every month - and we continue to increase the pace," the minister emphasized.
Fedorov added that the destruction of enemy logistics, warehouses, equipment, command posts and supply routes at operational depth has been quadrupled in recent months.
According to him, a pattern is already noticeable on analytical charts: the more logistics the Russians destroy - the less assaults take place on the battle line.
Fedorov explains that one of the key factors behind this change was strategic decisions to scale medium strike capabilities. In particular, after the Starlink satellite signal was switched off for the Russians, this became another factor of Ukraine's technological advantage on the battlefield.
"Therefore, our task now is to scale up middle strike to the maximum extent possible and, in coordination with the military, to create a complete logistical lockdown for the enemy," the minister said.
"Already in the summer, the results of centralized purchases of middle strike will become tangible at the front. The enemy will no longer feel safe even at a great distance from the battle line", - Fedorov is convinced.
