Zelensky added that intelligence assessments confirmed Ukraine successfully struck its planned targets at Russian military production sites. According to Zelensky, Ukrainian forces also struck Russian enterprises producing radio electronics and other critical components for the Russian military. Notably, Ukraine’s General Staff on Wednesday published a report on the results of a strike on the Dubna Space Communications Center (SCC) in Russia’s Moscow region. The facility is the largest ground-based satellite communications complex in Russia and is used for military communications, including control of satellite repeaters employed by the Russian defense ministry for communications, reconnaissance, and troop coordination.
