We are launching a "logistics lockdown" for the Russian army. We are scaling middle-strike operations to systematically destroy enemy logistics and supply lines, stripping them of their capacity to mount offensive actions. We’ve allocated an additional 5 billion UAH for direct procurement by our most effective frontline units, while simultaneously launching large-scale competitive tenders. The enemy’s rear is no longer a safe haven. We are seizing the initiative—using technology and the cold math of war to paralyze their operations — Mykhailo Fedorov

Ukraine has built a unique military incentive system: E-Points. Units receive points for verified destruction of enemy equipment, personnel, and other combat actions. Those points can then be exchanged for drones, EW systems, and robotic ground platforms. Every successful strike strengthens the next one.
