Ukrainian drones hit St Petersburg oil terminal in latest long-range attack on Russia

Ukrainian drones have struck an oil terminal in St. Petersburg as Kyiv ramps up bombardment of Russia’s oil infrastructure. The attacks have created a fuel crisis in Russia and political pressure on the Kremlin. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the attack as part of Ukraine’s “long-range sanctions” against Russia. He said Ukrainian forces also hit a military target on the island of Kronstadt. Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed the strikes as “not critical.” Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials deny Russian claims of capturing the city of Kostyantynivka in the Donetsk region.
