The President thanked the Defense and Security Forces of Ukraine for their joint work — the SBU, SBS, SSO, GUR, and the missile brigade for their accuracy.
As Zelensky emphasized, "these days all our partners have noted the accuracy and effectiveness of our middle strikes and long-range sanctions. It is time to end this war, and Russia must take the necessary steps in diplomacy."
The SBU clarified the details of the damage to the Moscow Refinery.
Soldiers from the SBU's Alpha Special Operations Center, together with other components of the Defense Forces, successfully struck the Moscow Oil Refinery, located 15 kilometers from the Kremlin.
At least four large fire centers are being recorded at the refinery. Huge columns of thick black smoke are rising, visible from various areas of Moscow.
Previously, Ukrainian drone strikes targeted a tank farm, an AVT facility (which performs primary processing of crude oil), and a diesel fuel hydrotreating facility.
