The President of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski, has claimed responsibility this Wednesday for a new series of long-range attacks against targets in central Russia, a barrage of missiles he has described as "Ukrainian sanctions."
"We continue to impose long-range Ukrainian sanctions against Russian military facilities and the oil industry," he stated in a message disseminated on social media, where he specified that FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles hit a military plant in Cheboksary "that supplies the occupier's army with components for drones and missiles."
The leader added that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have also struck the Kuibyshev oil refinery, in the Samara region, also in the central zone of Russia, in addition to other oil infrastructures located in the Vladimir region, east of Moscow.
"The distance from the front line is more than 900 kilometers. I thank the fighters of the Special Operations Forces, the Unmanned Systems Forces, and the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine," he pointed out, emphasizing the role of Ukrainian units capable of executing deep attacks within Russian territory.
In relation to these bombings, the authorities of the Russian republic of Chuvashia have reported that at least three people have been injured after a missile strike in the city of Cheboksary. The regional governor, Oleg Nikolaev, has assured that the city has been the target of "a missile attack" and has detailed that there are two moderately injured and one lightly injured. "Their lives are not in danger. One has already been sent back home," he added.
The Ukrainian leader maintains his commitment to extending the conflict into Russia through long-range attacks against its territory and occupied areas, in response to the Russian Army's offensive. In parallel, Kyiv maintains that a "change" has occurred in the course of the war in favor of its troops, which, it claims, have regained the initiative and are now facing "the most promising military situation" in recent times on the front.
