Ukraine hits back at Russia's 'you'll be frozen' social media taunt
The Ukrainian arms company Fire Point, whose missiles and drones have played a significant role in Ukraine's strikes on Russian oil refineries and logistics infrastructure, also got in on the social media action.
On August 14, Ukraine and Russia engaged in a social media exchange, with Kyiv responding to a provocative post from Russia's Defense Ministry. The Kremlin's defense force displayed an image of three Shahed-type drones with the caption, "Like snow on your head," and warned that "in winter you will be frozen." This reference to Russia's past attempts to destroy Ukrainian civilian infrastructure, particularly heating plants, prompted Ukraine to retaliate with their own message.
Ukraine's Strategic Communications Department posted an image of a burning Russian oil refinery with the caption, "Let's warm up by the fire of Russian refineries," alluding to Ukraine's deep-strike campaign against Russia's oil industry. The Ukrainian campaign has targeted Russian oil refineries and storage facilities, significantly damaging Russia's capacity to refine and export oil. This has led to shortages across the country.
Fire Point, a Ukrainian arms company that has played a significant role in strikes against Russian oil refineries and logistics infrastructure, chimed in on social media. They posted, "Let’s talk about winter after autumn," referencing the upcoming colder months.
