Russia is Losing its Strategic Depth

(Vadim Shtepa – The Jamestown Foundation) Ukraine’s expanding long-range drone campaign is eroding Russia’s strategic depth, bringing Russia’s major cities, industrial centers, and critical energy infrastructure within range and exposing vulnerabilities once protected by geography and distance. Growing attacks inside Russian territory have forced regions and businesses to fund their own air-defense measures, highlighting Moscow’s inability to provide adequate protection and increasing strain on Russia’s domestic political and economic stability. The Kremlin remains focused on capturing all of Donetsk oblast, but Ukraine’s emphasis on long-range drone warfare is disrupting Russian logistics, energy production, and military operations. – Russia is Losing its Strategic Depth – Jamestown
