Ukraine targets Russian oil refineries, logistics hubs, and military commander

Ukrainian forces have conducted a series of long-range strikes against targets deep inside Russian territory, impacting energy facilities, commercial logistics networks, and military figures.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed successful attacks on two major oil refineries in Bashkiria and Yaroslavl, alongside strikes on military patrol boats and shadow fleet ships in the Black Sea. Concurrently, Ukrainian drones struck distribution centers operated by the Russian e-commerce company Wildberries in Moscow and St. Petersburg, causing fires and leaving at least five people dead. Separate reports indicate an explosion at a Moscow restaurant targeted General Aleksandr Chayko, commander of Russia's Aerospace Forces.

While Ukrainian leadership framed the actions as direct responses to ongoing Russian aggression, Russian authorities have downplayed the extent of the damage to energy infrastructure.
