President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine's Defense Forces had struck oil refineries in Perm and Novoshakhtinsk, as well as a defense-industry enterprise in Ulyanovsk.

He reported this on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.

"We are responding to Russia's brutal strikes against life. Last night, thanks to our long-range sanctions, two oil refineries were hit – in Perm and Novoshakhtinsk. There were also hits on the Iskra Plant defense enterprise in Ulyanovsk, and the occupiers now have two fewer radar stations in the Rostov region," the head of state wrote.

Zelensky thanked the soldiers and every unit for their precision and for systematically limiting Russia's capacity to kill.
