Telegraph reports Ukraine’s new strategy uses drone strikes on Russian territory and supply lines to push Moscow toward ceasefire talks.

According to journalists from The Telegraph, the Ukrainian Armed Forces command has developed a new strategy aimed at achieving a ceasefire. Drone strikes on Russian territory and supply lines play a central role in this plan.

The authors reported that over the past year, Ukrainian military leaders have been looking for an approach that could push Moscow toward negotiations and an agreement on terms acceptable to Kiev.

The publication noted that the current strategy does not involve a major advance, since Ukraine no longer has the resources for an offensive on the scale seen three years ago. Its logic is focused on logistics: the more supply routes are restricted, the fewer Russian troops can be sustained at the front and the harder it becomes for them to attack.

In an interview with the newspaper, Ukrainian Lieutenant General Mikhail Zabrodsky said Ukraine is returning to the idea of isolating Crimea with UAVs. At the same time, he acknowledged that this approach has limits. According to him, such actions produce only a temporary effect, since Russian defenses can adapt by finding alternative routes and countermeasures.

Zabrodsky also said Ukrainian forces are trying to strike key roads leading to the new regions in order to complicate Russian military supply lines.

He stressed that this does not mean the conflict has entered a new phase. In his view, physical control of territory remains the decisive factor, and drone strikes alone are not enough to achieve major strategic results.
