According to him, the SBU continues to deliver effective strikes against Russian troops, in particular by destroying Russia’s air defense systems.
“We discussed in detail the combat operations carried out by the Service, and I thank all the warriors involved.,” Zelenskyy says.
He stresses that Ukrainian long-range missile drones are demonstrating increasing effectiveness. Separately, the President noted the soldiers of the SBU’s Special Operations Center A, who are actively operating in the Pokrovsk direction.
According to him, Russian troops have been ordered to storm the positions of Ukrainian defenders at any cost, but they are suffering significant losses every day.
“The Security Service’s warriors alone – and only in the Pokrovsk sector – are now eliminating more than 100 occupiers per day, not taking into account the results achieved by other components of our Defense and Security Forces. Overall, during the past month, the warriors of the Center of Special Operations “A” of the Security Service of Ukraine neutralized 3,028 occupiers – each case properly verified,” the head of state emphasizes.
SBU strikes
Long-range SBU drones hit one of Russia’s leading oil refineries. This is Orsknefteorgsintez, located 1,400 km from the Ukrainian border.
According to Reuters, the joint efforts of the SBU, Special Operations Forces (SOF), Defense Intelligence of Ukraine (HUR), and Unmanned Systems Forces (SBS) have disabled about 20% of Russia’s oil refining capacity, causing a fuel crisis and complicating logistics.
Two drones attacked the Tyumen oil refinery in Russia. The strike damaged the rectification column and part of the water supply system.
Ukrainian drones dealt a historic blow to the Russian oil industry, paralyzing 38% of oil refineries.
