In May, Ukraine’s Defense Forces carried out long-range strikes against 18 facilities belonging to Russia’s oil refining and fuel logistics sector across more than ten regions of the Russian Federation. The maximum strike range reached 1,700 kilometers from Ukraine’s border.
According to Ukrinform, this was reported by the press service of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense.
“Last month, units of the Defense Forces halted or significantly disrupted the operations of at least 18 major Russian oil refineries with a combined design capacity exceeding 110 million tons of oil per year,” the statement said.
The ministry noted that throughout May, the geography of Ukraine’s deep-strike operations extended across more than ten Russian regions, including the Moscow, Vladimir, Kirov, and Samara regions.
The press service emphasized that the long-range strikes were aimed, among other objectives, at depriving the enemy of the economic means necessary to sustain its aggression.
