Ukraine intensified long-range deep strike campaign against Russia's military-economic infrastructure in June, hitting 11 oil refineries, seven fuel logistics facilities, eight military factories, space communication centers, ships, and ferries, Defense Ministry reported on July 1.
Ukrainian drones attacked targets at a distance of over 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles) — from temporarily occupied Crimea and Krasnodar Krai to Western Siberia in Russia.
Among the Russian refineries targeted in June:
Tyumen Refinery (Antipinsky) in Tyumen Oblast — over 2,000 km from the front;
Moscow Refinery, Moscow — 500 km;
AdUfa Refineries (Bashneft-Ufaneftekhim and Bashneft-Novoil), Ufa — 1,500 km;
Orenburg Gas Processing Plant, Orenburg Oblast — over 1,200 km;
TANECO and TAIF-NK Refineries, Nizhnekamsk, Tatarstan — 1,200 km;
Kuibyshev Refinery, Samara — over 900 km;
Yaroslavl Refinery (Slavneft-YANOS), Yaroslavl — 800 km;
Ilsky, Afipsky, and Slaviansky Refineries, Krasnodar Krai — 300 to 400 km.
Among the targeted fuel infrastructure facilities are the Tamanneftegas, St. Petersburg, and Neste terminals; Grushovaya and Temp oil depots; and depots in Feodosia and Kerch.
Defense Ministry also recalled the strikes on the Titan-Barrikady military plant in Volgograd, VNIIR-Progress in Cheboksary, Dubna and Vladimir space communication centers, and VZPP-Mikron in Voronezh.
In June, Ukrainian drones attacked logistics and Russian Navy targets: a Project 20380 Steregushchiy-class corvette in Kronstadt, a Project 10410 patrol ship in the Sea of Azov, the Russian shadow fleet tankers WEST Horizon and FINA A in the Black Sea, and two ferries in the port of Kavkaz.
Fuel crisis worsened last month due to Ukrainian attacks and the suspension of Russian refineries across the aggressor state and the temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories.
Russian authorities have imposed restrictions on the sale of gasoline and diesel fuel in at least six oblasts. A severe fuel shortage has also intensified in Crimea.
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.
