Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Wednesday that Kiev struck key Russian facilities in overnight attacks, including the St Petersburg Oil Terminal, as officials gathered for a flagship economic forum in St Petersburg.
The facility is located about 1,100 kilometres from Ukraine’s border, Zelenskyy wrote on X, highlighting Kiev’s long-range strike capabilities. He said Ukrainian forces also hit military targets at Russia’s Kronstadt base.
Another target was a weapons-production enterprise in Russia’s Tambov region, nearly 600 kilometres from the front line, he added.
Meanwhile Russia’s St Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov said on Telegram that infrastructure facilities in the Kronstadt, Kirovsky and Krasnoselsky districts were targeted by Ukrainian drones in the early morning.
He said several facilities were damaged, but did not specify which ones.
