Zelensky promises that Ukraine will always have striking power in the sky

  • “In recent weeks, many have seen that the Russian military machine has vulnerabilities and that our weapons can hit those targets. I am grateful to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine and Military Intelligence for their long-range potential. Of course, I am also grateful to our defense industry, to everyone who works to make Ukraine stronger,” Zelenskyy said, stressing that Ukrainian-made drones are capable of hitting targets at long distances.
  • “From now on, Ukraine will always have its strike force in the sky.”

On Saturday, a drone attack ignited an oil refinery.

Dmytro Azarov, the governor of the Samara region, 850 km southeast of Moscow, said that the Syzran Refinery had caught fire, but that an attack on the second refinery had been prevented.

A Ukrainian source reported that the Security Service of Ukraine attacked three Rosneft oil refineries in Russia’s Samara region with drones during the night, Reuters reports.

“The SBU continues to implement its strategy of undermining the economic potential of the Russian Federation, which allows it to wage war in Ukraine,” the source said. According to the source, the attacks were successful, but did not provide further details.
