Details from Zelenskyy
"It is time to end this war. But the Russian leader wants to fight. That is why Ukrainian sanctions are in place for this aggression. Last night, our drones covered a distance of around 1,000 kilometres to the St Petersburg region – targeting the enemy navy’s arsenals and the base in Kronstadt. Our long-range strikes also covered around 500 kilometres to the Krasnodar region and hit an oil depot. These are significant results of the joint efforts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine and the Main Intelligence Directorate. Russia must end its war and stop its attacks on civilian life. Any acts of injustice against Ukraine will receive a just response. I thank our soldiers for their accuracy," the Head of State emphasised.
