Quote: "We continue our defensive operations in the designated areas of active operations. Today there was a report by the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, on the use of long-range drones against Russian oil refining and export assets. In particular, overnight, the defence forces of Ukraine operated against targets associated with the Yaroslavl oil refinery – about 700 km from our territory. We are bringing the war back home – to Russia – and that's only fair."
