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.
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.
