Ukraine’s long-range strikes inside Russia have cost Moscow over $74 billion since January, according to fresh data from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The military says the economic toll equals more than 4% of Russia’s annual GDP, with most hits landing deep inside its territory.

Ukraine has been using its domestically produced long-range drones for deep strikes inside Russia. The targets include military sites, defense industry facilities, railway infrastructure, oil refineries, and fuel depots. These attacks come as Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine passes the three-and-a-half-year mark.

Military publishes breakdown of targets and distances

On 15 August, the General Staff released infographics detailing the scope and impact of deep strikes carried out since 1 January 2025. The figures show that 42% of the attacks targeted oil refineries, making them the single most-hit category. Storage facilities were the second most common target at 37%, followed by oil pumping stations at 10%, terminals and ports at 7%, and other facilities at 4%.

The data also breaks down the distances of strikes from Ukraine’s border. Nearly 39.22% of hits landed between 500 and 1,000 km inside Russia, while 37.25% were between 200 and 500 km. Only 13.73% were within 200 km of the border. More than 10% of the strikes reached beyond 1,000 km, a range that underscores Ukraine’s long-range capabilities.

Kyiv links economic losses to targeted infrastructure

The General Staff’s report estimates that the strikes have reduced Russia’s GDP by 4.11% in annual terms. Officials credit the damage to a focus on high-value infrastructure such as refineries, depots, and transport hubs. The statement thanked all personnel involved in the operations and stressed that Ukrainian defense forces are continuing the campaign.
