Volodymyr Zelensky, the President of Ukraine, made significant statements announcing that Kyiv will soon increase its attacks on Russian oil refineries. This decision has been made in response to Russia's repeated attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure and seems aimed at influencing the course of the ongoing war.
Impact of Attacks on Energy Infrastructure
In recent months, Ukraine's energy infrastructure has repeatedly been targeted by air and ground attacks. These attacks have not only led to serious problems in energy supply within Ukraine but have also affected the daily lives of the people. In this context, Zelensky stated that the goal of increasing attacks on Russian oil refineries is to exert pressure on the economy of this country and reduce its ability to continue the war.
Development of New Ballistic Missiles
Zelensky also announced efforts to develop a new ballistic missile, the "FB-9." This missile, according to its manufacturer, can reach Moscow and could be a very impactful tool in the hands of the Ukrainian army. Given the current sensitive situation, this development could help Ukraine more effectively counter Russian military threats.
The President of Ukraine further emphasized that these actions are part of the country's overall strategy to confront Russian aggression. He also stressed the need for international support for Ukraine and called on the global community to assist Ukraine in this critical situation.
As tensions rise in the region, it seems that both sides are preparing for new phases of the war. Zelensky, highlighting Ukraine's steadfast determination to defend its territory, stated that his country will never surrender and will seek to protect its territorial integrity.
