We are steadily increasing our strike capabilities. By comparison, in May this figure stood at almost 180,000," the statement said.
Unmanned systems hit almost 28,000 Russian invaders in June.
"The Defense Forces continue to increase their advantage over the enemy in the use of FPV drones. In June, the ratio of strikes was 1.6 to 1 in our favor, compared with 1.5 to 1 in May. The positive trend continues," the Commander-in-Chief noted.
Middle Strike and Deep Strike
"We are also consistently developing the Middle Strike area. While in May the Defense Forces carried out almost 2,000 strikes using systems of this class, in June the figure had already reached about 3,400.
We are also increasing capabilities in the Deep Strike segment. In June, 172 enemy targets were hit in its operational and strategic depth. The enemy is already feeling the consequences of these strikes. Their intensity and effectiveness will continue to grow," Syrskyi said.

In June, our unmanned ground vehicles carried out about 17,000 missions. By comparison, in May the figure was 12,500.
We also considered the further development of electronic warfare systems, their constant improvement, the use of unmanned systems to protect the Ukrainian coast, carry out missions in the maritime operational zone, and ensure the security of the maritime grain corridor," he added.
Syrskyi stressed that the enemy’s rear areas, military logistics, warehouses, command posts, energy infrastructure, and other important facilities will continue to remain under constant fire influence from the Defense Forces of Ukraine.
