President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has confirmed that Ukrainian forces struck a Russian oil industry facility in the city of Armavir, located in Russia\u2019s Krasnodar Krai approximately 500 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.<\/p>\n

In a statement published on social media<\/a>, Zelenskyy described the attack as part of Ukraine\u2019s ongoing long-range campaign targeting assets that support Russia\u2019s war effort,\u00a0UATV English<\/a>\u00a0reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are our new long-range sanctions, reaching 500 kilometers from our state border. We are fairly bringing the war back to where it came from,\u201d Zelenskyy said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The president stressed that Russia could have ended its aggression long ago but instead chose to prolong the war.<\/p>\n

\u201cRussia could have ended its aggression long ago, but it chose escalation and continuation. Therefore, another facility of Russia\u2019s oil industry has been successfully reached \u2014 this time in Armavir, Krasnodar Krai,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Zelenskyy thanked Ukraine\u2019s Security Service (SBU) for carrying out the operation and praised those involved for the successful strike.<\/p>\n

He noted that the attack forms part of a broader strategy aimed at increasing pressure on Russia through what he described as both legal sanctions and practical long-range actions against assets that help sustain Moscow\u2019s military campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cStep by step, we are implementing our plan of long-range sanctions in response to everything Russia is doing against our country and our people. All types of our sanctions \u2014 legal and practical long-range measures \u2014 are working to bring peace closer,\u201d Zelenskyy said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Earlier, Russian authorities and local media reported fires at an oil storage facility in Armavir and at a port facility in Taganrog following overnight drone attacks.<\/p>\n

The strike comes amid Ukraine\u2019s intensified campaign against Russia\u2019s energy and logistics infrastructure, which Kyiv views as a key source of funding and support for Moscow\u2019s war against Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
