Ukraine has struck additional oil facilities located deep inside Russia, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The announcement marks a further escalation in Kyiv's campaign to degrade Moscow's energy infrastructure, targeting sites critical to fuel production and refining capacity.
Zelenskyy emphasized the need for enhanced air defense capabilities alongside the offensive operations.

The strikes follow a pattern of attacks on Russian energy assets, including a major refinery targeted in recent weeks and infrastructure sites near Saint Petersburg.
