Ukraine to conduct preemptive attacks on facilities Russia uses for war, Zelenskyy says

  • On Wednesday, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced that Ukraine will conduct preemptive strikes against facilities Russia uses to sustain its war effort, aiming to disrupt infrastructure fueling the conflict.
  • As Russia faces a deepening fuel crisis, Kyiv's strikes target energy assets; petroleum production dropped 13.5% in May and the Moscow oil refinery remains offline for at least six months.
  • Wednesday's attacks knocked out power in Crimea's largest city, while drone debris caused fires at the Poltavskaya oil depot in Russia's southern Krasnodar region on Thursday.
  • Signal relay stations in Belarus used by Russian drones stopped working on June 22, days after Zelenskiy warned President Alexander Lukashenko to disable them, though their status remains unconfirmed.
  • Denmark committed to supplying 15,000 artillery rounds as part of its $11bn military aid package through 2028, while Russia is redeploying air defense assets to protect President Vladimir Putin in Moscow and Valdai.
