Zaporizhzhia’s largest mall closes as Russia’s attacks seek to make Ukrainian cities unlivable
City Mall will remain closed throughout September after a Russian strike hit a nearby hypermarket, as repeated attacks disrupt businesses and everyday life across Ukraine.
In August, Ukrainian deep strikes extended their reach to a staggering 1,900 kilometers into Russia, hitting 12 major refineries with a combined annual capacity of approximately 100 million tonnes of oil products, according to the Ukrainian Defense Ministry's press service. The ministry reported that the strikes targeted not only refineries but also included 2 gas processing and petrochemical plants, 3 major fuel terminals and oil depots, as well as 2 defense industry enterprises.
Among the targeted sites were Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez and Orsknefteorgsintez, located about 1,500 and 1,900 kilometers from Ukraine's border respectively. The Defense Ministry emphasized that these strikes were raising the cost of the war for Russia, vowing that Russia would pay for all the damage inflicted.
