Moscow, Russia – In a response to successive Ukrainian attacks on its energy sector, the Russian military is preparing for a large-scale military operation, the largest since the outbreak of the war in 2022. Sources with knowledge of the situation have confirmed that preparations for this operation have been underway for over two weeks, with the goal of launching the attack within the next 36 hours.
Ukrainian military forces have launched a series of drone and missile attacks on key Russian energy infrastructure, including power plants and oil facilities. In retaliation, Russia is expected to launch a significant military operation against Ukrainian positions. This move is likely designed to deter further attacks on Russian energy infrastructure and to assert the country’s military capabilities.
The scale of Russia’s planned operation is reportedly massive. According to sources, Russia has mobilized its forces and is preparing for a large-scale assault on Ukrainian positions. While details of the operation are scarce, it is understood that Russian troops will be deployed from multiple axes, with the aim of achieving significant territorial gains.
The planned operation is the latest development in a conflict that shows no signs of abating. Relations between Russia and Ukraine have deteriorated significantly in recent months, with both sides accusing each other of aggression. Diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict have thus far failed to yield significant results.
In a bid to gauge the scale of Russia’s planned operation, it is worth noting that Ukraine was recently targeted by a massive drone and missile strike. On May 14, 2026, Ukraine was hit by 1,500 Shahed/Geran drones and 50 missiles in a single day. This attack highlighted Russia’s ability to launch significant and coordinated military operations against Ukrainian targets.
The planned Russian operation is also likely to have significant implications for the wider region. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has drawn in other countries, including the United States, the European Union, and NATO, each with their own interests and motivations. The planned operation is therefore likely to have significant diplomatic and military implications, not just for the countries directly involved, but for the wider international community as well.
In a statement, the Russian Defence Ministry has declined to comment on the planned operation. However, military analysts and experts have warned that Russia’s military is gearing up for a significant confrontation with Ukraine. With time running out before the planned operation, tensions are likely to continue escalating in the coming days and weeks.
