While the world is fixated on Middle East tensions, Russian forces continue pounding military and strategic targets all over Ukraine.
Having amassed an enormous cache of kamikaze drones and missiles, Moscow is methodically implementing its ‘war of attrition’.
As we have often discussed here on TGP, in this kind of warfare the main objective is not so much territorial gains, but rather a campaign to degrade the enemy’s capabilities to the point it can’t fight anymore.
The only reason why this ‘attrition’ took more than a few months to be accomplished is that the US under Biden and all the other western powers have flooded the Kiev regime with unprecedented amounts of military aid to the tune of half a trillion dollars – but now, three and a half years later, the Ukrainian capabilities are again on the brink of destruction.
To accomplish that, the Russians have now in June unleashed the strongest drone and missile strike campaign of the whole war.
But that does not mean that there haven’t been territorial advances: in southern Zaporozhie, in Northern Kharkov and Sumi – and in the eastern Donbas regions of Donetsk and especially Luhansk, that is now totally under Russian control.
From its uprising in 2014 to the present complete liberation in 2025, it has been a long journey for the Lugansk People’s Republic.
RT reported:
“On June 30, 2025, Russian forces completed the full liberation of the Lugansk People’s Republic. Eleven years after declaring independence, and nearly three years after joining the Russian Federation, the LPR now stands fully under Russian control. What began with mass protests and barricades in 2014 has culminated in a hard-won homecoming.>
