Due to Ukraine's long-range strikes.

The Ukrainian Defense Forces’ strikes on military and strategic targets in Russia have simultaneously created four very serious problems for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.

This is stated in an article by Bild.

Bild journalists noted that the first problem for Putin, which has recently emerged as a result of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ strikes on targets in Russia, is the stalemate on the front lines.

Russian occupiers are unable to achieve strategic success, while the Ukrainian Armed Forces are inflicting heavy losses on the enemy with drones on the front lines.

Second, Russia is facing serious problems with military logistics. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have recently been actively striking the Russian occupiers’ logistics networks, particularly in the temporarily occupied territories of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, as well as in annexed Crimea.

The land corridor from Russia to occupied Crimea has been severely disrupted. In addition, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have damaged all the railway and road bridges connecting the peninsula to the mainland.

Putin’s third major problem is that he cannot defend occupied Crimea. Western experts note that the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ strikes have effectively turned Crimea into an “island.” Ukraine is striving to isolate Crimea from Russia, and it is succeeding. Thanks to this, the Ukrainian Armed Forces can liberate the peninsula from Russian occupiers.

Putin’s fourth problem is that more and more Russians are feeling the consequences of the war. Ukraine is carrying out airstrikes on strategic and military targets in Russia, located thousands of kilometers away.

At this point, the war against Ukraine has become an everyday reality for millions of Russians.
