The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has entered a new phase of intense air warfare. This period is marked by Russian ballistic missile strikes on Ukrainian cities and a systematic Ukrainian campaign to destroy Russian energy systems and shipping logistics.

俄羅斯與烏克蘭之間的衝突已進入激烈的空中戰爭新階段。這一時期的特徵是俄羅斯對烏克蘭城市發動彈道飛彈襲擊，而烏克蘭則系統性地摧毀俄羅斯的能源系統與航運物流。

The current situation is defined by both sides increasing their long-range attacks. Russia has stepped up its bombing of Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, Sumy, and Odesa. For example, on July 11, a coordinated attack using about 121 drones and 12 missiles caused several civilian deaths and damaged residential buildings. A major problem has emerged in Ukraine's air defenses; while they can stop most drones and cruise missiles, they lack enough Patriot missiles to stop fast ballistic missiles. Consequently, President Zelenskyy has asked for the faster delivery of NATO weapons and a license to produce Patriot missiles locally in agreement with the US government.

目前的局勢定義為雙方都增加了遠程襲擊。俄羅斯加強了對烏克蘭城市的轟炸，包括基輔、蘇梅與敖德薩。例如，在7月11日，一次使用約121架無人機與12枚飛彈的協同襲擊，造成數名平民死亡並損毀住宅建築。烏克蘭的防空系統出現了一個重大問題；雖然他們能攔截大部分無人機與巡航飛彈，但缺乏足夠的愛國者飛彈來攔截快速的彈道飛彈。因此，澤倫斯基總統要求加快交付北約武器，並在與美國政府達成協議後，獲准在本地生產愛國者飛彈。

At the same time, Ukraine has shifted its strategy to damage Russia's economy and logistics. They have created a 'long-range impact' command to organize strikes against Russian energy plants. This campaign has targeted oil refineries in Krasnodar and Leningrad, as well as the 'shadow fleet' of ships in the Sea of Azov. Ukrainian officials claim that destroying these fuel tankers has caused a severe fuel shortage in occupied Crimea. This failure has led to power outages, communication problems, and the collapse of tourism in the region. Although the Russian government says these problems are temporary, they have not explained how they will fix them.

與此同時，烏克蘭將策略轉向損害俄羅斯的經濟與物流。他們成立了一個「遠程打擊」指揮部，用以組織對俄羅斯能源廠的襲擊。這次行動針對了克拉斯諾達爾與列寧格勒的煉油廠，以及亞速海的「影子船隊」。烏克蘭官員聲稱，摧毀這些燃料油輪導致被佔領的克里米亞出現嚴重燃料短缺。這一失敗導致了停電、通訊問題以及該地區旅遊業崩潰。雖然俄羅斯政府稱這些問題是暫時的，但他們尚未解釋將如何解決。

Beyond the fighting, the war is affecting global politics and internal stability. US lawmakers are proposing new sanctions against companies that help Russia export energy, and Senator Lindsey Graham suggested that China might need to intervene diplomatically for a future peace deal. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian government is fighting internal corruption, such as the 'Midas case' involving stolen funds from Energoatom. Furthermore, the farming sector in the Kherson region is suffering because incendiary weapons have destroyed wheat crops, making life even harder for local farmers.

除戰鬥之外，戰爭正影響著全球政治與內部穩定。美國國會議員正擬定對協助俄羅斯出口能源的公司實施新制裁，參議員林賽·格雷厄姆建議中國可能需要在未來的和平協議中進行外交干預。與此同時，烏克蘭政府正打擊內部貪腐，例如涉及 Energoatom 資金被盜的「米達斯案」。此外，赫森地區的農業正遭受苦難，因為縱火武器摧毀了小麥作物，使當地農民的生活更加艱難。

The conflict is currently a stalemate of attrition. While Russia maintains air dominance over urban areas, Ukraine is successfully damaging Russian energy and logistics.

目前的衝突處於一場消耗戰的僵局。雖然俄羅斯在城市地區維持空中優勢，但烏克蘭成功損害了俄羅斯的能源與物流。
