Quote: "Last night, defence forces units struck the Poltavska oil depot in the Krasnodar region. The target was approximately 300 km from the front line. This morning, the Security Service of Ukraine hit two oil refineries in Ufa – Bashneft-Ufaneftekhim and Bashneft-Novoil. That's 1,500 km from the front line."
Details: Zelenskyy added that Ukraine is consistently carrying out its "long-range sanctions plan" and that this is a response to Russia dragging out the war and striking Ukrainian cities and communities.
Quote: "The Russians should be thinking about real diplomacy instead of once again trying to trick others or buy time. The war must be brought to an end."
Background: Drones once again attacked an oil depot in the settlement of Poltavskaya in Russia's Krasnodar Krai on the night of 24-25 June, sparking a fire. This marks the third attack on the facility in the past three weeks.
