Overnight, Ukrainian drones traveled approximately 1,000 kilometers to reach Russian Navy arsenals and a base in Kronstadt.

According to Ukrinform, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced this on Facebook.

He said it is time to end this war, but the Russian leader wants to fight. That is why Ukrainian sanctions are being imposed for this aggression.

"Last night, our drones traveled about 1,000 kilometers to the St. Petersburg region—to the enemy Navy’s arsenals and the base in Kronstadt. And our long-range strikes also traveled about 500 kilometers to the Krasnodar region and hit an oil depot. These are important results of the joint efforts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the Main Intelligence Directorate," the head of state emphasized.

As Zelensky stated, “Russia must end its war and stop its attacks on civilian life. Any acts of injustice against Ukraine will receive a just response. I thank our soldiers for their precision.”
