Ukraine's Defense Forces struck more than 200,000 Russian targets in June, while nearly doubling the number of successful strikes more than 50 kilometers behind the front line, according to Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.
In a statement on 5 July, Fedorov said the increase reflected a continued focus on disrupting Russian logistics, with attacks targeting supply routes, transport, and ammunition depots.
"The number of strikes on logistics continues to grow," Fedorov said. "The number of targets hit at distances greater than 50 kilometers from the line of combat nearly doubled."
He also said the intensity of Ukrainian strikes against Russian targets in occupied Crimea increased significantly during June.
Record month for artillery and drone interceptions
According to Fedorov, June set several new records for Ukraine's Defense Forces.
He said Ukrainian forces achieved their highest monthly number of artillery systems destroyed, intercepted a record 49,575 Russian fixed-wing and multirotor drones, and recorded an all-time high in strikes against Russian vehicles and motorcycles.
Fedorov added that Ukrainian forces killed or seriously wounded nearly 28,000 Russian troops during the month.
Verified through eBaly battlefield system
The minister said every reported strike was verified using video evidence through Ukraine's eBaly battlefield analytics system.
The platform provides commanders with near real-time visibility of battlefield results, allowing successful tactics to be identified quickly and expanded across the force.
Ukraine expands long-range campaign against Russian logistics
Ukraine has significantly expanded its campaign of long-range strikes in recent months, increasingly targeting Russian military assets in occupied Ukrainian territory and border regions inside Russia.
The campaign has focused on disrupting the logistics that sustain Russian offensive operations, including ammunition depots, fuel storage sites, transport hubs, rail infrastructure, command posts, and military vehicles.
Ukrainian officials have repeatedly said degrading Russia's supply network is intended to reduce its ability to reinforce frontline units and sustain offensive operations.
June also saw a continued increase in strikes against occupied Crimea, which serves as a major Russian military and logistics hub supporting operations in southern Ukraine.
