Ukraine shifts to asymmetric warfare strategy, rejecting direct confrontation with Russia
Ukraine's Acting Defence Minister — unnamed in source reporting — outlined a new military strategy emphasizing asymmetric warfare rather than matching Russian military force directly, according to WION. The strategy focuses on deep strikes designed to impose disproportionate costs on Russia while minimizing Ukrainian expenditure. The minister also stressed the importance of logistics, battlefield resource management, and expanding domestic defence production, including Patriot interceptor missiles.
