The deep strike campaign, or long-range strike campaign is a military campaign by the Defence Forces of Ukraine against the logistics of the Russian Federation and the Russian Armed Forces. The campaign involves long-range drone strikes and missile strikes inside Russia, mainly targeting the oil industry and the arms industry. The goal is to undermine Russia's economic ability to continue waging its war against Ukraine. It is part of a broader wave of Ukrainian attacks inside Russia in response to the 2022 invasion.
