According to Ukrinform, President Volodymyr Zelensky made the statement on Facebook.
“Overnight, our warriors applied Ukraine’s long-range sanctions against an oil refinery in Russia’s Saratov – about 700 kilometers from the frontline. An important result. Thank you! There were also strikes in the Rostov and Kirov regions, as well as at a military base on the Caspian Sea coast. Our Defense Forces of Ukraine are carrying out long-range missions in line with the approved priorities of the plan for such sanction,” Zelensky said.
