This report focuses on Ukraine’s recent large-scale drone and missile attacks targeting Russia’s export and energy infrastructure. Despite personal challenges, the author emphasizes the importance of supporting the Ukrainian military and raising funds for drone production.
During the night, Russian forces attacked Odesa with drones, killing at least two people and injuring 11 others, including a child. Russian strikes hit residential buildings, educational facilities, the private sector, and a maternity hospital. Meanwhile, Ukraine launched 'Flamingo' missiles at Promsynthez plant in Chapayevsk, Samara region—a facility supplying explosives for Russian missiles.
Ukrainian drones also struck Yaroslavl refinery and other major Russian oil processing plants. Attacks on Primorsk, Ust-Luga, Kiryzhsky, and Yaroslavl refineries have significantly disrupted Russia’s ability to export oil via the Baltic Sea. According to Reuters, Russian oil producers may declare force majeure due to ongoing strikes, with loading operations indefinitely halted.
The attacks caused smoke to spread for hundreds of kilometers and left many sites damaged. Russian media noted the increasing intensity of Ukrainian drone attacks, while official Kremlin sources remained silent.
Experts highlight that these strikes undermine not only export operations but also the logistics of Russian troops. Ukraine’s efforts to disable Russian Starlink terminals further complicate Russian coordination, reportedly causing friendly fire incidents.
Combat drones purchased with donor support strike Russian targets up to 50 km deep, destroying military equipment and disrupting supply lines. Russian propagandists admit to worsening conditions and declining morale regarding the war, yet Vladimir Putin continues to call for enhanced air defense.
Ukrainian troops receive new FPV drones and thank contributors, stressing the need for ongoing support to ensure victory. Despite continuous Russian threats, Ukrainians are urged to keep aiding defense forces and contribute to fundraising efforts.
