Defense Forces struck "Samara" oil depot again and hit "Lipetsk-2" military airfield, - General Staff
On November 13, the Ukrainian Defense Forces once again struck one of the most critical nodes of the Russian oil system—the "Samara" linear production and control station near the village of Prosvet in the Samara region.
This was reported by Censor.NET, citing the press office of the General Staff.
Oil tanks are on fire
A fire has broken out on the facility's grounds—several oil tanks are on fire.
"This station is the heart of the Russian oil industry—an industry that is financing the war. Oil flows here via main pipelines from Tatarstan, Western Siberia, and other oil-producing regions of the Russian Federation, where it is blended to create the Urals export grade. And Urals accounts for up to half of all Russian oil exports. Therefore, every tank hit in Samara strikes directly at the main source of funds the aggressor uses to pay for missiles, drones, and the war against Ukraine," the General Staff emphasizes.
Strike on a Russian airfield
The results of the strike on the "Lipetsk-2" airfield in the Lipetsk Oblast, where Russian military aviation is based, have also been confirmed. On November 13, a hangar used to store specialized aircraft maintenance equipment, an aviation fuel tank, and the airfield’s central command and control center were struck there.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces, exercising their right to self-defense as guaranteed by Article 51 of the UN Charter, continue to systematically take measures aimed at compelling Russia to cease its armed aggression against Ukraine.
