Ukrainian forces struck the targets at a distance of 600 to 1,100 kilometres, which indicates that Ukraine's ability to strike deep behind enemy lines has increased.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\">\n<div class=\"summary-title\">Briefly about the main points<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Zelenskyy confirms strikes on strategic targets in Russia.<\/li>\n<li>An oil terminal in St. Petersburg and military bases in Kronstadt were hit.<\/li>\n<li>A military-industrial complex in the Tambov region was hit.<\/li>\n<li>The distance to the targets was 600-1100 km.<\/li>\n<li>The attack coincided with the start of an economic forum in St Petersburg.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Details of the operation and the forces involved<\/h2>\n<p>President of Ukraine <strong>Volodymyr Zelenskyy<\/strong> said that the operation involved servicemen of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, the Main Intelligence Directorate and the State Border Guard Service. According to him, Ukrainian forces implemented the plan \u00ab<a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/politics\/zelenskyi-dalekobiini-udary-po-rf-cherven\/\">long-range sanctions<\/a>\u00bb against the infrastructure that supports the Russian military machine. The operation hit important targets on Russian territory, which underscores Ukraine's ability to deliver effective long-range strikes.<\/p>\n<h2>Oil terminal in St. Petersburg is hit<\/h2>\n<p>One of the main goals was to <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/world\/ataka-naftovyi-terminal-peterburg-drony\/\">oil terminal<\/a> in St. Petersburg is a key facility for transshipment of oil products in the Baltic region, through which Russia exports fuel by sea. The distance from the Ukrainian border to this facility is about 1,100 kilometres. After the attack, thick black smoke rose over the terminal, and Russian public media reported a large-scale fire. The attack significantly complicates the logistics of oil product supplies.<\/p>\n<h2>The destruction of military facilities in Kronstadt<\/h2>\n<p>The President also confirmed the striking of \u00abpurely military targets\u00bb at the Baltic Fleet base in Kronstadt, one of the main centres of Russian military forces in the Baltic. The Russian side did not provide details on the extent of the damage. This strike could be of strategic importance for reducing the fleet's combat capabilities in the region.<\/p>\n<h2>A blow to the military-industrial complex in the Tambov region<\/h2>\n<p>Another target was a facility in the Tambov region involved in the production of weapons for the Russian army. This facility is about 600 kilometres from the front line. The damage to this plant complicates Russia's production capacity in the military-industrial complex.<\/p>\n<h2>Context of the attack against the backdrop of the economic forum<\/h2>\n<p>The attack took place simultaneously with the start of the <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/world\/putin-peti-rosiyskiy-davos\/\">St. Petersburg International Economic Forum<\/a>, where Russian President Vladimir Putin is expected to speak. During the forum, St. Petersburg is experiencing problems with stable mobile communications, as well as increased security measures due to fires at oil facilities. These events highlight Russia's internal challenges in the context of the ongoing war.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u041f\u0440\u0435\u0437\u0438\u0434\u0435\u043d\u0442
