Ukrainian Defense Minister Yevhen Khmara stated that strikes deep into Russian territory are part of a strategy aimed at weakening the aggressor's military-economic potential. According to the Ministry of Defense's press service, Ukraine carried out such strikes on August 24, targeting key facilities in Russia. The Kirishinefteorgsintez oil refinery in the Leningrad region was hit, preventing hundreds of thousands of tons of fuel from reaching Russian tanks.
Additionally, a large-scale fire broke out at the Yeysk airfield in Krasnodar Krai following a precise strike, while a Shahed preparation and launch base in Millerovo, Rostov region, was targeted. Over ten Russian regions were under closed skies and air raid alerts due to the operations. The Chkalovsky airfield near Moscow and Sochi in Adler were also temporarily halted.
The Ministry of Defense emphasized that there is no "deep rear" for the Russian war machine, adding that the enemy's crimes will be felt everywhere. Since the start of the full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, Russian military combat losses have reached approximately 1,486,600 personnel, with about 1,400 occurring in the past 24 hours.
