00:00Ukraine is expanding its long-range strike campaign against Russian targets.
00:04According to the Institute for the Study of War,
00:07President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has authorized a 40-day strike effort.
00:11The goal is to increase pressure on Moscow and push Russia toward ending the war.
00:17ISW says the campaign is already affecting occupied Crimea.
00:21Occupation officials have declared a state of emergency on the peninsula.
00:24The strikes are reportedly disrupting logistics, fuel supplies, and water access.
00:30They are also contributing to a wider movement of people leaving Crimea.
00:33At the same time, Russia continues to face growing gasoline shortages across the country.
00:39Moscow is publicly projecting stability, despite signs of pressure on its economy and infrastructure.
00:45Overnight, Russian forces launched seven Iskander-M ballistic missiles and 189 drones against Ukraine.
00:53ISW also reported recent Ukrainian advances in western Zaporizhia oblast.
00:59The developments suggest Kiev is using deeper strikes and battlefield pressure together.
01:04Analysts will now be watching whether the 40-day campaign changes Russia's military posture.
