Ukraine shifts from defensive posture to offensive deep-strike capability, targeting Russian economic infrastructure. This reduces Russia's energy export revenues and industrial capacity, weakening its economic resilience. NATO allies tacitly support Ukraine's strategy without direct involvement, maintaining plausible deniability while degrading Russian capabilities.
Similar to WWII strategic bombing campaigns targeting enemy industrial capacity (e.g., Allied strikes on German oil refineries), designed to undermine war-making ability through economic attrition rather than direct military engagement.
