Successful strikes of Ukraine on Russian military airfields, as well as another damage to the Crimean bridge can be a turning point in the war. Western analysts write about it, including The Wall Street Journal and The Conversation , emphasizing that these actions testify to the beginning of a new phase of conflict.
The American edition of WSJ notes that the war goes beyond the position of the deadlock. On both sides, there is a noticeable desire for escalation, and attempts by diplomatic settlement, in particular through the US, are becoming less realistic.
In recent weeks, Russia has intensively fired at Ukraine with rockets and drones, attacking civilian infrastructure, residential quarters and energy facilities. Dozens of civilians are victims. However, against this background, the Ukrainian answer is gaining new quality.
Unexpected point strokes, in particular with the participation of the SBU, undermine Russia's military capabilities and signal Ukraine's ability to act asymmetrically. According to Western experts, strokes on the rear military facilities, as well as diversions on the Crimean bridge can have "far -reaching geopolitical consequences".
The analysts of The Conversation say that massive attacks of Ukrainian drones on Russian aircraft are questioned by the ability of the Russian Federation to protect their strategic objects. It also extends the idea of reaching Russian goals for the Ukrainian forces - even far beyond the front line.
In fact, according to the observers, the war goes to a new level, where the factor of surprise and accuracy can outweigh numerical advantage or large -scale weapons.
