On August 7, 2025, local time, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy urgently convened a meeting with senior officials of the Ukrainian military, the Ukrainian Military Intelligence Service, and the Ukrainian Security Service. The main content of the meeting was that the Ukrainian authorities and the Ukrainian military decided to conduct a comprehensive large-scale bombing and raid on the rear areas of Russia. President Zelenskyy announced at the meeting: "I held a meeting about deep strikes against the rear of Russia," "This is a completely reasonable response to the attacks on our rear 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 results 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." "Investments in various long-range strike weapons in Ukraine have become increasingly beneficial. Significant losses have been inflicted on Russian military logistics bases, Russian Aerospace Forces' bases attacking Ukraine, and Russian war economy projects."

Zelenskyy clarified that in the next stage, the target of Ukraine's strikes against Russia would be to expand the depth strikes on the rear of Russia and develop 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 Major General Malyuk, head of the Ukrainian Security Service, and agreed to launch a new special long-range strike operation against Russian territory. It is said that the effect of the strike is claimed to be comparable to the previous large-scale attack on Russian aerospace forces' strategic airports. President Zelenskyy's announcement of the order to strike the rear of Russia comes against the background of U.S. President Trump and Kremlin aide Usachev stating 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 two heads of state since 2021.

Zelenskyy ordered the Ukrainian Security Service to bomb the rear of Russia

Trump previously threatened that if a ceasefire agreement could not be reached, the United States would impose Level 1 and Level 2 sanctions on Russia and countries purchasing its exports. However, Trump's attitude towards Russia made a 180-degree turn, showing no intention of imposing any sanctions on Russia. Moreover, President Trump is going to meet with Russian President Putin, which is unacceptable to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. According to the schedule, it's time for the Ukrainian authorities and the Ukrainian military to take action again, which means the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is once again escalating.

Zelenskyy decides to go all-in

General Syrskyi, Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, attended the meeting

Don't underestimate Ukraine's self-research and production capabilities of drones. Many of them use 3D printing to produce drones, operating around the clock, especially long-range suicide drones, which Ukraine now produces very maturely, directly producing in underground bases and factories in Kyiv, even Ukraine can produce suicide drones equipped with jet engines, acting as cruise missiles to bomb the rear of Russia. For Russia, this is a big trouble, because the suicide drones and cruise missiles launched by the Ukrainian authorities require a lot of effort to intercept, and Russia's rear energy equipment and oil storage facilities are too easy to be attacked and cause great losses. This is what Ukrainian President Zelenskyy warned the United States and Russia, "If you take a wrong step, isolate Ukraine, and reach a ceasefire in Ukraine without Ukraine's consent, the Ukrainian army will rain missiles on Russia, wrapping a big dumpling for Russia."

The Ukrainian Military Intelligence Service publicly released the destruction of Russian radar targets

On August 7, local time, the "Ghost" Special Forces of the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Bureau destroyed the following Russian military targets in the Crimea region: the Russian Navy's 02510-type "BK-16" landing ship; the Sky-SVU strategic radar; the K-1 early warning radar; the 96L6E radar of the S-400 air defense missile system. Among these, one of the Russian military radars was established on the northern mountain peak of Koloskorets in Crimea, which is a fixed radar position, located in a relatively high altitude area on the southern side of Crimea, from where the Russian radar overlooks the Black Sea. The suicide drones launched by the "Ghost" Special Forces of the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Bureau also attacked the Russian radar system on Mount Epetri: this is the air defense base of the Russian 3rd Radio Technical Regiment.

In the footage, the suicide drones launched by the Ukrainian Armed Forces were also struck by multiple "Kornet" anti-aircraft missiles fired by the Russians, but they managed to evade them. Even the Ukrainian suicide drones tried to shoot down the Russian Aerospace Forces' Su-30SM fighter jets, but failed. Furthermore, the "Ghost" Intelligence Bureau of the Ukrainian Defense Department captured a Russian landing ship and directly crashed into it. The "Ghost" Intelligence Bureau of the Ukrainian Defense Department has repeatedly conducted a level-diminishing strike on Russian air defense forces, air defense radars, and air defense missile positions on the Crimean Peninsula.

The Russian S-400 air defense missile was bombed

The "Ghost" Special Forces of the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Bureau also caused serious damage to the air defense facilities on the Crimean Peninsula, forcing the Russians to start hiding high-value military targets in anti-drone nets and protective structures. Therefore, it is currently uncertain how much success the "Ghost" Special Forces of Ukraine achieved in this surprise attack on the Russian air defense radar system.
