The head of state emphasized that Ukraine is responding appropriately to Russia’s escalation with “long-range sanctions,” adding that significant results are being achieved virtually every day.
“Over the past 24 hours, oil facilities in the Samara and Volgograd regions were hit. Successful operations were carried out in the Black Sea and in the Voronezh, Nizhny Novgorod, Volgograd, Samara, and Krasnodar regions, targeting airfields, industrial facilities, oil refineries, a missile and space center, and an ammunition depot belonging to the occupiers,” the president noted.
