Russia expands air campaign against Ukrainian infrastructure, targeting bridges and power grid

Russian drones damaged several bridges in Kyiv on Friday, marking an expansion of Moscow's air campaign against Ukrainian civilian infrastructure. As Russian forces face setbacks on the front lines, the Kremlin is increasingly relying on attritional bombardment of critical infrastructure, including waterworks and nuclear power plant transformers, to pressure Ukraine. The strikes signal a strategic shift toward degrading Ukraine's resilience rather than achieving rapid territorial gains.
