Pinned: VIDEO: Ukraine’s intermediate-range strike campaign has undermined logistics in Russia’s operational rear. As of May 2026, Ukraine has secured a drone advantage on the battlefield, reintroduced limited elements of mechanized maneuver, and upheld a successful strike campaign against Russia. In this video, ISW’s @KatStepanenko and @georgewbarros explain how the war is entering a new phase as Ukraine’s recent successes on the battlefield and beyond are challenging the positional character of the conflict that has dictated the battlefield since 2023.
