Russia told the eastern powers at a heavy price that once they decided to use force for the national interests, the targets of the attack would be military or civilian, and all facilities conducive to the war would be targeted. Apart from military targets, airports, ports, docks, railway stations, bus stations, bridges, tunnels, railway lines, highways, gas stations, power plants, substations, transmission lines, communication towers, radio stations, oil and gas storage stations, aircraft factories, automobile factories, shipyards and other machinery factories may all be destroyed.
The Russian military war report just released in October 2025 contains a clear signal. The Russian Ministry of Defense said that precision strikes have been carried out on 137 regions in Ukraine in the past 24 hours. The target list includes both temporary deployment points of the Ukrainian army and more fuel and energy facilities and military enterprises.
This is no longer a special case. Zelensky revealed in his speech not long ago that the Russian army used more than 3,100 drones and 92 missiles in a week. More than half of these ammunitions landed on non-traditional military targets. In modern warfare, the boundary between the front line and the rear line has long been completely blurred.
The encounter with the Dnipro bridge in the state of Helsinki can best explain the problem, the bridge that connects the island of Korabelj with the Ukrainian military-controlled area, appears to be a civil transportation hub, and in fact is the Ukrainian army cluster's "supply life line".
Although the bridge did not completely collapse, the transportation channels were completely cut, and the tactical isolation of the operation area was realized.The Russian Defense Ministry spokesman said that such a strike was more effective than destroying ten military bases, logistically disrupted, and the frontline naturally became waterless.
Energy facilities have become targets of high-frequency attacks. On October 12, 2025, Russian missile attacks caused damage to energy facilities in several states such as Donetsk and Odessa, and some areas were directly plunged into power outages.
This strike logic appears repeatedly in wars. After all, power plants and substations are not only for civilian use, but also to ensure the operation of radars in military bases and the power supply of missile launch vehicles.
The Ministry of General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has informed that the Ukrainian army has hit the Kirich petrochemical plant in Leningrad, Russia, a large enterprise with an annual oil refining capacity of 18.4 million tons, which is precisely an important hub for the supply of Russian military fuel.
The fate of ports and factories also confirms this rule. In October 2024, Russian missiles attacked the port of Odessa, killing one death and eight injuries. They also damaged grain warehouses, cargo cranes and two civilian ships.
Foreigners appear to attack the civilian port is not close, but in the eyes of the Russian military, here is both the concentration of Western aid materials, and the Ukrainian food exchange of weapons, has long become a key link in the chain of war. Kiev's armored car manufacturing plant has not escaped the strike, the Russian military using aerial-based high-precision weapons directly destroyed the factory, along with Nikolayev's military vehicle repair workshop was also ravaged.
Where weapons can be built and equipment can be repaired, it naturally cannot escape the flames of war. The encounter with the communication network is even more shocking. In the Russian army's attack list, communication towers and transmission lines occupy important positions all year round. Some Ukrainian technicians revealed that since 2025, nearly 30% of communication base stations in Ukraine have been paralyzed due to attacks, and frontline troops have often fallen into the dilemma of "shouting no response and unable to connect".
Bridges and tunnels on railway lines and highways have also been bombed repeatedly. The railway trunk line from Kharkiv to Zaporizhh was interrupted for two weeks due to the tunnel bombing, which prevented the Ukrainian army's tank parts from reaching the front line in time. These facilities, which seem to serve people's livelihood, have long become the "blood vessels" of military operations in the war.
Russia itself has paid a lot of price for this. Continued attacks require massive ammunition supplies. Military industrial enterprises have to work in three shifts, and the condemnation from the international community has never stopped. But this style of play did have a strategic effect. Ukraine's military production capacity has been compressed to 30% of pre-war levels. Energy shortages have made it difficult to balance heating and military power supply in winter, and logistics supply efficiency has dropped by nearly 60%.
Real warfare with heavy losses proves that modern warfare is not only the force of the front, but also the back support capabilities. The facilities that were once considered as "civil prohibited zones", in the logic of warfare only left the difference "usable" or "inutile".
Gas stations can fuel military vehicles, it becomes the target of the strike. Oil storage stations can provide fuel for warplanes, must be included in the list. Automobile factories can modify armored vehicles, shipyards can repair military ships, these places can naturally not escape air strikes.
With countless bombing operations, Russia sets clear boundaries: the real goal in the war is the ability of the other party to maintain the battle itself. This idea tells the warning bell to the Eastern powers.
The airport runway can be used for both landing and landing of fighter aircraft. The power station can light the city lights and ensure the operation of the radar station. The communication tower is both the basis for civilian calls and the military command.
Russia's battlefield practice has proved that the strategic benefits of destroying these facilities are often more significant than those of attacking purely military targets.
The cruelty of the war is here, and once the force is opened, all the facilities that can serve the war are engaged in the war.The heavy price Russia pays is essentially the writing of a modern war's "real war lessons."
It clearly tells the outside world that in the face of the national interests, the military and civilian labels have no meaning, can crush the objectives of the war of the other, is the goal of the most to strike.
