Ukraine is expanding its long-range drone campaign against Russia, targeting oil refineries, military facilities and logistics hubs thousands of kilometers from the border.

DW gained access to the launch of Ukrainian FP-1 drones at a secret location and spoke to commanders behind the strikes.

Supporters say the attacks are stretching Russian air defenses and disrupting supplies to the front.

As deep strikes intensify, Ukraine hopes to offset Russia’s advantages and slow its battlefield advances.
