Ukraine systematically targets Russian command centers, ammunition and oil depots, and railway networks to delay Moscow’s planned multi-front summer offensive spanning from Sumy to Kherson—the largest coordinated assault Russia has attempted since the full-scale invasion began.

Today, there is big news from eastern Ukraine.
Here, as Russians are on the brink of kicking off their multi-front summer offensive, Ukrainians are launching a summer campaign of their own, targeting key Russian military and logistical assets. By using missiles and long-range drones, Ukraine aims to deal as much damage as possible at the most important moment, right before the Russians accumulate enough forces and equipment to overwhelm the Ukrainian army.
Colonel confirmed killed in devastating headquarters strike
In one of the most significant recent operations, Ukrainian forces successfully targeted the headquarters of Russia’s 8th Combined Arms Army in Russian controlled Donetsk city. Using Storm Shadow missiles combined with drones, Ukrainians drained Russian air defenses before wreaking utter destruction on the massive Russian headquarters.
According to reports by local media and residents, the headquarters building was razed down to the basement, whole groups of killed Russian personnel being carried out continuously. Among those confirmed killed was one of the main targets, Colonel Ruslan Goryachkin, commander of the 8th Guards Combined Arms Army, who has absolute control of all Russian forces operating from Velyka Novosilka to Pokrovsk, and is credited with the only significant gains Russians have made since the start of 2024.
