Ukrainian Defense Forces struck Ilsky oil refinery, logistics facilities, and a Russian communication node, AFU General Staff reported on Feb. 17.
The refinery was hit overnight, resulting in a major fire.
General Staff noted that the Ilsky plant is a key oil enterprise in southern Russia [it is located in Krasnodar Krai - ed.], critical for fuel production. Its primary processing capacity is 6.6 million tons of oil annually. The facility supplies the Russian army.
Strikes on occupied territories
Ukrainian forces also targeted enemy positions in the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhya Oblast, specifically in Rozivka and Liubymivka.
Logistics depots in Donetsk and near Lidyne were also attacked.
A communication node of the Russian 127th Motorized Rifle Division was hit near Zelenopil, Zaporizhzhya Oblast.
General Staff added that enemy losses and the scale of damage are being clarified.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
