Zelensky takes the fight to Moscow with Pelican, but has Ukraine pushed Russia too far this time?

Ukraine has unveiled a new ballistic weapon during a massive long-range attack on Moscow, with Zelensky confirming the Pelican was among the systems used. Kyiv said the operation marked the missile’s first combat use as strikes hit a key Russian oil facility and logistics site. Moscow’s Gazprom-operated refinery, which reportedly supplies around 40% of the capital’s fuel needs, caught fire during the barrage. Russia claimed a record 1,110 Ukrainian drones were intercepted nationwide before launching 138 drones at Ukraine. Has Zelensky’s new weapon opened a more dangerous phase in the battle over Putin’s energy lifelines?
