A number of targets important to the occupiers have been hit.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that the Defense Forces struck two oil depots in Stavropol and Tver, located approximately 500 kilometers from the front line. The Ukrainian president announced this on social media.

“Our soldiers are carrying out a plan of long-range strikes in response to the protracted war and Russian attacks. Yesterday, significant strikes were carried out against facilities that support the Russian oil industry and serve military objectives,” the president stated.

He reported that a reserve fuel storage facility, located 800 km from the front line, had been attacked.

In Ufa, Russia, the Ukrainian military “carried out strikes” on an oil pumping station located nearly 1,500 kilometers from the border, Zelenskyy said. An oil loading terminal in the Rostov region, located approximately 200 kilometers from the front line, was also attacked.

“We have long urged Russia to end this war, and every day that it drags on should bring the reality of war back to where it all began—to Russia,” Zelenskyy said.

The Security Service of Ukraine reported that it had attacked the Krasnaya Zarya oil depot in the Tver Region. Hits from Ukrainian strike UAVs were recorded on the facility’s grounds, after which a fire broke out.

The SBU’s second target was the Stavropolskaya oil depot in the Stavropol Krai of the Russian Federation. A massive fire broke out at the facility, and its area is rapidly expanding.
