President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed a successful attack by Ukrainian forces on a number of strategically important targets within the russian federation. In particular, the St. Petersburg oil terminal, a key component of russia’s fuel infrastructure, was struck. According to the head of state, the operation was carried out by Ukrainian special services and various branches of the military as part of systematic pressure on the aggressor’s military-industrial complex. This is stated in the President’s statement on his official page.
The head of state noted the effective work and high precision of Ukrainian units, which are capable of striking targets deep behind enemy lines at a distance of over a thousand kilometers from the border.
“There are positive results from our long-range strikes carried out by soldiers of the SSU, the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, and the State Border Guard Service. Last night, key targets on Russian territory were struck. Among them is the St. Petersburg oil terminal. The distance from Ukraine’s state border to this facility of the Russian oil industry, which is working to support the war effort, is about 1,100 kilometers. Purely military targets at the Kronstadt base were also hit,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated.
In addition, the Ukrainian leader confirmed that Defense Forces units struck another large enterprise in the Tambov Oblast of the russian federation, which is directly involved in the production of russian weapons and military equipment.
“The distance from the front line is nearly 600 kilometers. I thank our soldiers for their accuracy. Ukraine’s plan for long-range strikes is being carried out exactly as needed to bring peace closer. Glory to Ukraine!” said Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, a massive fire broke out at an oil terminal in St. Petersburg following a drone strike.
