"Last night, important targets on Russian territory were hit. Among them, the St. Petersburg oil terminal . From our Ukrainian state border to this target of the Russian oil industry, which is working for the war, is approximately 1,100 kilometers. Purely military targets were also hit at the Kronstadt base." Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed responsibility for the drone strikes on the night between Tuesday and Wednesday on Telegram.
"Another target," Zelensky added, "is a company in the Tambov region involved in the production of Russian weapons. The distance from the front line is almost 600 kilometers. Thanks to our soldiers for their precision. Ukraine's long-range sanctions plan is being implemented exactly as needed to bring peace closer. Glory to Ukraine!"
A Kiev unmanned aerial vehicle also reportedly struck a bus traveling from Moscow to Crimea , killing seven people and wounding 11 others, authorities in the Donetsk region, where the attack took place, said.
The Ukrainian strikes followed Moscow's attacks yesterday on Kiev and other cities in the country, which resulted in civilian casualties. Putin's Spief economic summit , the so-called "Russian Davos," begins today in St. Petersburg.
For his part, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov explained that Russia will not stop its retaliation for the Ukrainian attacks: "I want to remind you of the Foreign Ministry's statement, which states that our responses will be systematic in nature , and in fact they already are," Peskov told reporters.
