As a result of the Spiderweb special operation by the Security Service of Ukraine, 34% of Russia’s strategic cruise missile carriers were hit at several airfields.

That’s according to the SBU press service, Ukrinform reports.

The cost of the assets affected is estimated at $7 billion, the report says.

Details of the special operation are yet to be published.

“For now, we can tell the Russians only one thing: ‘Did you think that Ukraine was an easy catch? Ukraine is great. Ukraine is exclusive. It has been affected by all roller coasters throughout its history. It has undergone all kinds of tests. It has been tempered with the highest tempering. In modern-world conditions, it has no price tag." (c) Lina Kostenko," the SBU statement noted.
