Frontline situation
Ukraine's Defense Forces struck two oil refineries in Russia — in the Krasnodar region and the Yaroslavl region. The targets were located 300 kilometers from the front line and 700 kilometers from Ukraine’s border.
As the Ukrainian military says, strikes on Russian logistics in occupied Crimea are part of a multi-stage operation that has been ongoing for years. First, naval logistics were destroyed, then the railway ferries, while at the same time, air defenses and facilities in the land corridor were being destroyed
