Ukrainian Forces Launch Long-Range Attacks Deep Inside Russia: Targeting Military and Energy Infrastructure
Ukrainian forces have launched a series of long-range attacks deep inside Russia, targeting military and energy infrastructure to increase the costs of the war for the Kremlin. President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed strikes on military and energy facilities, including a military factory supplying components for Russian drones and missiles. The attacks included hitting a refinery in the Samara region and two oil infrastructure facilities in the Vladimir region, as well as a painting depicting the defense of Crimea during the 19th century Crimean War.
The Ukrainian strikes have defied Russian President Vladimir Putin's claims of winning the war, with the front line remaining static due to drone swarms hindering advances. Last week, Putin vowed to strengthen Russia's air defenses after Ukrainian attacks on St Petersburg's oil terminal and naval base. The attacks have caused casualties and damage in various regions, prompting Ukraine to secure commitments for additional air defense systems and ammunition following Zelensky's visits to London and Tallinn.

The attacks have caused damage and casualties in various regions, prompting Ukraine to secure commitments for additional air defense systems and ammunition.
