It is noted that Syrskyi reported on the use of long-range drones against Russian oil refineries and export facilities.
"In particular, last night the Ukrainian Defence Forces carried out operations in the direction of the oil refinery in Yaroslavl – that is about 700 kilometres from our territory. We are bringing the war back home, to Russia, and this is entirely justified.
There were also strikes on specific targets in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. We are also preparing further demonstrations of our long-range strikes and mid-range strikes in response to Russian attacks on our cities and communities," Zelenskyy said.
The President and the Chief of the General Staff also discussed the situation on the front line.
"Yes, since the start of 2026, Russian losses on the front line have already exceeded 145,000 personnel. Specifically, nearly 86,000 have been killed, at least 59,000 seriously wounded, and more than 800 Russian servicemen have been taken prisoner. We are achieving our objectives in the border areas of the Sumy region.
We are continuing to destroy Russian personnel and the occupiers’ equipment in other areas as well. I would particularly like to thank our drone operators for their accuracy. Active operations are also ongoing, for which the paratroopers and assault troops deserve special mention. Thank you to every Ukrainian unit that is achieving results!" – the Head of State concluded.
