And on Independence Day, I would like to thank our soldiers again. They have very good results in long-range strikes, everyone sees it. And today we have, I think, very, very positive results in Donbas. Good surprises for the Russians, I think the commander-in-chief will announce all the details later.

It is worth noting that the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrsky, is in no hurry to reveal any details yet.
Despite this, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports on new successes of Ukrainian soldiers.
Thus, on August 24, as part of reducing the military-economic potential of the Russian aggressor, units of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Security Service of Ukraine inflicted fire damage on an infrastructure facility on the territory of the Ust-Luga sea terminal (Leningrad region of the Russian Federation).

Moreover, on the same day, the Syzran oil refinery, also located in Russia, came under attack from Ukraine.
