Ukrainian weapons are returning the war to Russia, reducing the enemy's potential to continue it, which is necessary for peace. And 2025 should be a decisive year, stated the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"I want to thank all Ukrainian developers and manufacturers of long-range drones and our missiles. Everyone can see their effectiveness - how our weapons are bringing the war back to Russia and how Russia's war potential is decreasing," the president said.

He noted that the unrest in Russia, the decrease in Russia's ability to sell and refine oil, and lower global prices for this energy resource are what is needed for peace.

"And, of course, all the guys from the Security Service of Ukraine, the Special Operations Forces, all our Armed Forces, the Foreign Intelligence Service, the DIU - everyone who adds their strength and their accuracy to Ukraine's capabilities - thank you all!" Zelenskyy summarized.

On the night of January 26, drones attacked the Ryazan Oil Refinery in Russia for the second time in a week.

As explained by the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, these attacks on the enterprise are important to disrupt the logistics of the Russian army.

The fact is that Ryazan Oil Refining Company is the largest refinery in the Central Federal District and processes more than 17 million tons of oil per year. In addition, the plant produces a wide range of products.
