Ukrainian Forces Escalate Drone Attacks against Russian Oil Facilities in Long-Range Assaults

In his nightly address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy highlighted the importance of destroying Russian targets in border regions. He expressed gratitude towards world leaders for their determination to protect Ukraine. Zelenskyy praised the efforts of Ukrainian forces in destroying Russian terrorists’ positions and launchers near the border, emphasizing the significance of these actions for national security. Furthermore, he mentioned the world’s support in opening new prospects for restoring Ukraine’s security, specifically referencing the security of Kharkiv.

Just recently, Ukraine claimed responsibility for an overnight drone attack on a Russian oil facility, causing a massive blaze in Russia’s Rostov region. This attack was the latest in a series of long-range assaults by Kyiv’s forces targeting border regions. Over the past few months, Ukraine has intensified aerial attacks on Russian soil, focusing on refineries and oil terminals in an attempt to hinder the Kremlin’s war efforts. Meanwhile, Moscow’s army has been putting pressure along the front line in eastern Ukraine, where shortages of troops and ammunition have left defenders vulnerable. The ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia continues to escalate as both sides engage in aggressive tactics to secure their interests.
