Russia Poised for Fresh Major Strike on Ukraine, ISW Warns
ISW assesses Moscow is preparing a new massive strike on Ukraine while Kyiv reports ongoing Ukrainian counter-attacks; Ukrainian forces claim to have destroyed two Tu-142s and an Iskander launcher in Rostov Oblast, and struck oil infrastructure in Taganrog, as part of a broader campaign that includes deep-penetration drone operations and remote mining along key supply routes; Russia is moving to oblast-level air-defense coordination to counter the growing drone threat, while Putin continues to claim battlefield gains that ISW says are inflated; the May 28-29 Galati drone incident is viewed as a potential setup for falsely blaming Russia in Moldova, with NATO risk from drone incursions noted.
