📰 Ukraine Launches Deep Strikes into Russia Following Collapse of Peace Talks
🗓️ July 24–25, 2025
📍 Sochi – Bryansk – Rostov – Belgorod

📄Ukraine has launched one of its largest cross-border retaliation operations since early July, deploying drones and long-range missiles deep into Russian territory just hours after peace negotiations in Istanbul ended without agreement.

Confirmed targets included:

Sochi: Fires broke out at an industrial complex, including a power equipment factory and logistics center near the Black Sea resort city.

Bryansk & Belgorod: Transportation hubs and small weapons depots were reportedly hit, causing moderate structural damage.

Rostov: Loud explosions were heard throughout the city during the night, with partial power outages affecting some districts.

This escalation signals Ukraine’s intent to demonstrate that the war will not remain confined within its borders and serves as a symbolic blow in response to Russia’s recent mass aerial assault on Ukrainian cities.

Analysts describe the strikes as a calculated show of reach and resilience by Kyiv, intended to challenge Russia’s perceived immunity from direct attacks on its soil. By targeting locations beyond the frontlines—including Sochi, a city previously spared from frontline fighting—Ukraine is expanding both the geographic and psychological scope of the conflict.

If the pattern continues, Ukraine may escalate its focus on strategic sites deeper inside Russia, particularly infrastructure tied to logistics and command operations. Russia, in turn, is likely to intensify its defensive posture in southern cities and accelerate missile retaliation campaigns. Diplomatic avenues appear increasingly fragile.
