Quote from Zelenskyy: "It is time to end this war. But Russia's ruler wants to keep fighting. That is why Ukrainian sanctions against this aggression are working. Last night, our drones covered a distance of about 1,000 kilometres to the St Petersburg region – to the enemy navy's arsenals and a base in Kronstadt.
Our long-range sanctions also reached about 500 kilometres into Krasnodar Krai – and hit an oil depot. These are important results of the joint efforts by warriors from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine and Defence Intelligence of Ukraine. Russia must end its war and stop its attacks on life. Any manifestation of injustice against Ukraine will receive a just response."
Details: Zelenskyy added that the strikes were carried out jointly by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine and Defence Intelligence of Ukraine.
Background: On the night of 5-6 June, Russian regions and temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine came under a large-scale drone attack. The strikes caused fires at oil depots, and damage was also reported to port infrastructure in Mariupol and Kronstadt.
