Strike on shadow fleet vessels in the Black and Azov seas
In the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, Ukrainian defenders struck one tanker and four cargo ships belonging to Russia's shadow fleet.
Russia uses such vessels to bypass international sanctions and transport oil outside official shipping routes.
"We are, quite justly, bringing the war back home – to Russia," the head of state said.
He added that Ukraine has already handed the Russian side all of its proposals for ending the war.
"Peace is needed, and Ukraine has presented the Russian side with every proposal. They must be forced to turn to diplomacy," Zelenskyy wrote.
During the night of July 22, drones attacked Russia's Krasnodar region. A massive fire broke out at the Wildberries logistics center in Krasnodar, while an oil depot in Armavir was reportedly hit.
On July 21, soldiers of the Black Forest Artillery Reconnaissance Brigade struck a MiG-29 fighter jet and a Pantsir-S1 surface-to-air missile and anti-aircraft artillery system at the Khalino airfield in Russia's Kursk region.
