On August 7, 2025, local time, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy held an emergency meeting with senior officials of the Ukrainian military, the Ukrainian Military Intelligence Service, and the Ukrainian Security Service. The main topic of the meeting was that the Ukrainian authorities and the Ukrainian military decided to launch a comprehensive large-scale bombing and raid on the rear areas of Russia. President Zelenskyy announced at the meeting: "I convened a meeting regarding the deep strikes against the rear areas of Russia," "This is a completely reasonable response to the attacks on our rear areas by Russia." "The Ukrainian Armed Forces, the Ukrainian Security Service, the Minister of Defense, and the Secretary of the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council reported on the achievements of the ongoing long-range military operations, the significant losses caused to Russia, the benefits of each strike, and the impact on Russia's war machine." "The investment in various long-range strike weapons of Ukraine has become increasingly beneficial. Major losses have been inflicted on Russian armed forces' logistics bases, air and space forces' bases that bomb Ukraine, and Russian war economy projects." Zelenskyy clearly stated that the next stage of Ukraine's strikes on Russia would be to expand the depth strikes on the rear areas of Russia, and developing long-range strike capabilities would be the top priority for Ukraine's defense industry. "If Russia dares to prolong the war, they will pay a heavy price."
At the same time, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy announced that he had met with Lieutenant General Malyuk, the head of the Ukrainian Security Service, and agreed to launch a new round of special long-range strike operations against Russian territory. It is claimed that the effect of the strike is said to be comparable to the previous large-scale attack on the strategic airports of the Russian Aerospace Forces. The background of President Zelenskyy's announcement of the order to strike the rear areas of Russia is that U.S. President Trump and Kremlin aide Ushakov both stated that Russian President Putin and U.S. President Trump will hold a meeting in the coming days, which will be the first summit between the leaders of the two countries since 2021.
Previously, Trump had threatened to impose first and second-level sanctions on Russia and countries that purchase its exports if a ceasefire agreement could not be reached. However, Trump's attitude toward Russia made a 180-degree turn, showing no intention to sanction Russia, and even Trump wants to meet with Russian President Putin, which is unacceptable to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. According to the cycle, it's time for the Ukrainian authorities and the military to take action again. Don't underestimate Ukraine's self-research and development capabilities of drones. Many drones are produced using 3D printing, and they are continuously produced around the clock, especially long-range suicide drones, which Ukraine now produces very maturely, directly in underground bases and factories in Kyiv, and even Ukraine can produce suicide drones equipped with jet engines, used as cruise missiles to bomb the rear areas of Russia. For Russia, this is a big trouble, as the suicide drones and cruise missiles launched by the Ukrainian authorities need a lot of effort to intercept, and the energy facilities and oil storage facilities in the rear areas of Russia are too easy to be attacked and cause great losses.
