One of the key enterprises in the Russian oil industry has been affected.

Ukrainian drones and missiles, specifically the “Flamingo,” launched a massive attack on Moscow on the night of September 20. One of the Russian Federation’s key oil industry facilities and a logistics facility were struck.

This was reported by Charter97.org citing Telegram account of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

“Our long-range strikes had a very noticeable effect in the Moscow region last night. One of the Russian Federation’s key oil industry facilities and a logistics facility belonging to the aggressor have been destroyed. These are billions of dollars that support the war machine,” Zelenskyy said.

In particular, the following systems were deployed: FP-1, RZ-100, MICH-2000, “Palyanitsa,” Vendetta, “February,” “Bars,” “Flamingo,” “January,” and Pelican.

Sanctions were also imposed on a facility in the Voronezh region.

“Moscow must stop building layered air defense rings at the expense of other regions, end its brutal war, and choose peace. There are steps on the table for de-escalation: in the energy sector and food security. Political will is needed. Thank you to everyone who is strengthening Ukraine’s long-range capabilities,” added the President of Ukraine.
