Oil depots in the occupied territories are key facilities for supplying fuel to Russian military equipment.
Strikes on occupied territories and deep inside Russia are ongoing. On May 23, Security Service of Ukraine drones struck the chemical enterprise Metafrax Chemicals in the Perm region — one of the important facilities of the Russian military-industrial complex.
Recently, the Security Service of Ukraine destroyed a Russian FSB headquarters in the occupied Kherson region, with approximately 100 Russians killed or wounded. Amid massive Ukrainian drone strikes, almost all major oil refineries in central Russia have either halted or significantly reduced fuel production.
