According to the Spanish newspaper El País, Ukraine is stepping up strikes on key targets inside Russia by drawing on a rapidly evolving arsenal.

The paper writes that the strategy pursued by Kyiv's Defense Ministry coincides with a shortage of air-defense systems in Moscow's arsenal. That gap, it reports, is allowing Ukraine to deploy longer-range and more precise systems against targets deep inside Russian territory.

Battlefield claims cannot be independently verified, and the two sides describe events differently. El País notes that it remains uncertain how the developments will affect the balance along the front line in the months ahead.
