Long-range sanctions
"Last night, our long-range sanctions once again reached the Moscow region: for the second time this week, the Moscow oil refinery has been struck. Targets in the Rostov region and in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine were also hit," Zelenskyy emphasised.
According to him, this is a just response to Russian strikes on Ukrainian cities and communities.
"This is yet another significant achievement by our troops in targeting facilities that support the Russian war machine. I would like to thank Ukraine’s Defence and Security Forces for their joint efforts – the SSU, the USF, the SOF, the DIU – and our missile brigade for their precision.
In recent days, all our partners have highlighted the accuracy and effectiveness of our medium-range strikes and long-range sanctions. It is time to end this war, and Russia must take the necessary diplomatic steps," he concluded.
