Zelensky announces new “long-range sanctions” targeting Russia

He announced this on Telegram following a meeting with top security officials, including SSU Chief Vasyl Maliuk and Foreign Intelligence Service Head Oleh Ivashchenko, Ukrinform reports.

“Together with the heads of the Security Service of Ukraine and the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine, we have identified priority targets for our long-range sanctions in the near term. We will definitely implement all of them,” Zelensky stated.

As Ukrinform noted, overnight on October 23, Ukraine’s Defense Forces struck the Ryazan oil refinery and an ammunition depot inside Russia.

Earlier, on October 16, Ukrainian forces hit the Saratov oil refinery, and on October 13, the SSU and Special Operations drones targeted the Feodosia marine oil terminal and several power substations in temporarily occupied Crimea — damaging 11 fuel tanks, ten of which were filled at the time.
