Ukraine launched a 'massive' drone attack on a Russian oil terminal in St Petersburg overnight as Kyiv presses on with bombardment of Russia's oil infrastructure.Aleksandr Beglov, the governor of St Petersburg, admitted the port had been hit but reported no casualties. He said Russian air defences had shot down 72 Ukrainian drones across Russia's second-largest city and the surrounding region.Volodymyr Zelensky described the port as an 'important military target' which 'generates revenue for Russia's war' on Kyiv. On Saturday morning, the Ukrainian president said: 'Last night, our Ukrainian long-range sanctions against Russia over this war reached targets near St. Petersburg. 'Ukraine's Defense Forces struck port oil infrastructure that generates revenue for Russia's war, and there were also successful strikes on Kronstadt – an important military target. 'The distance from Ukraine's state border is more than 850 kilometers. My thanks to everyone who is ensuring Ukraine's precision and carrying out our long-range sanctions plan. Glory to Ukraine!' Almost daily long-range attacks on Russian oil facilities have created a fuel crisis and heaped political pressure on the Kremlin as its invasion stretches into its fifth year. Ukraine launched a 'massive' drone attack at an oil terminal in St Petersburg overnight Russian air defences shot down 72 drones in the attack, Moscow officials have claimed Ukraine have launched a series of attacks on Russian energy facilities in efforts to destabilise the 'revenue' Moscow makes for the war St. Petersburg's Kirovsky district was previously hit in June, ahead of Russia's flagship St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.The Crimean peninsula, which Russia annexed in 2014, has suffered particularly from heavy strikes, causing local authorities to suspend gasoline sales to civilians. A Ukrainian attack on Saturday killed one person and injured two more, including a 10-year-old child, said the Moscow-installed St Petersburg governor. Vladimir Putin has shrugged off Ukraine's strikes on Russia's energy facilities as 'not critical,' and insisted the war will continue until his goals are met.He has described the attacks as an effort by Kyiv to distract attention from its losses on the battlefield, although analysts have said the advance of Russian forces has been stymied in recent months.Ukraine has said that nearly 43 per cent of Russia's oil refinery capacity has been 'disabled' following its attacks, however this claim has not been verified independently. But Kyiv has insisted that Russian energy facilities are legitimate military targets because Russia heavily relies on oil exports to fund its invasion, launched in February 2022. The Russian defence ministry has responded to the attacks by saying they 'will not go unanswered'. On Friday, Putin visited the Russian military headquarters directing the war in Ukraine and received a report on the capture of the city of Kostyantynivka after weeks of intense street battles. He hailed it as a key step toward capturing the nearby cities of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk, the key remaining strongholds in the so-called 'forest belt' of heavily fortified cities in the Donetsk region that remain in Ukraine's hands.The capture of Kostyantynivka, a big transport and industrial hub, is of 'major strategic importance,' Putin, clad in military fatigues, said in televised comments.In a briefing on Saturday, Sergei Rudskoy, the first deputy chief of the general staff of the Russian armed forces, said Ukrainian troops had been pushed back several kilometers and that fighting was taking place on the outskirts of the nearby town of Oleksiievo-Druzhkivka. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenksy has claimed that Russian energy facilities are legitimate military targets in the war between the two countries But Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has shrugged off the drone strikes on its energy infrastructure as 'not critical'He said: 'The city is now under our full control. Units of the Southern Army Group are completing the clearance of city blocks, rooting out small groups and individual Ukrainian fighters who may still be hiding in basements and ruins.'Zelensky denied that Russia took control of the city, claiming on Saturday: 'It is just another Russian lie, an attempt to generate some kind of a news story.'If Kostiantynivka were under Russian control, then perhaps Putin would have no problem meeting me there to find a diplomatic way to finally end this war. 'But the fact is, he won't cross the front line. Reality is very different from Putin's words.'But the Kremlin quickly dismissed Zelensky's offer, with Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov telling Radio Komsomolskaya Pravda this evening that the Russian president would meet the Ukrainian leader in Moscow once Kyiv was ready to make 'important, consequential decisions'.Putin appears to believe his government can keep the fuel crisis from eroding his authority and support for the war he launched more than four years ago. At the very least, the attacks have brought the war home even more poignantly for millions of Russians, shattering Putin's narrative of the conflict as something that doesn't affect the lives of ordinary people in his country.The border city of Belgorod, which Ukrainian drone strikes have also repeatedly targeted, was left almost completely without power on Saturday due to overnight attacks, local media reported.Meanwhile, eight people were wounded after a Russian attack struck residential buildings in Ukraine's southeastern region of Zaporizhzhia, including two children, local authorities said on Saturday.
