"This time, the Moscow region has felt the reach of Ukrainian long-range strikes. An oil refinery 500 kilometres away has been hit. I thank the soldiers of the SSU, USF, SOF, DIU and the missile forces for their effective work.
Russia must be forced to end the war against our people. And Ukrainian long-range weapons are one of the key components of such coercion," he emphasised.
