Ukraine has carried out strikes against targets in the Saratov and Voronezh regions, as well as in Tatarstan and Bashkortostan.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced this on July 8.

“Today, our long-range sanctions reached the Saratov region, Tatarstan, and Bashkortostan — approximately 800, 1,400, and 1,500 kilometers from the front line. They also reached the Voronezh region, about 300 kilometers from our border”, — he wrote.

According to the President, Ukraine is responding to Russia’s strikes and its prolongation of the war in an entirely just manner.

The President thanked the servicemen of the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, the Security Service of Ukraine, and Ukraine’s intelligence agencies for their precision.

“The Saratov Oil Refinery has been struck. Special Operations Forces personnel struck an oil refinery in Tatarstan. Russians must feel that their state is waging this war. I thank everyone who is helping defend Ukraine!” the Head of State concluded.
