❗️❗️🇺🇦🇷🇺According to The Telegraph, Ukraine has increased the strike range of its domestically produced FPV kamikaze drones from 50 km to 150 km. 🔷 Ukrainian forces are using these drones to destroy Russian logistics hubs and military equipment. They are also supported by “Baba-Yaga” bomber drones, which play a significant role on the battlefield by effectively targeting Russian air defense and electronic warfare systems several dozen kilometers behind the front line.

This week, our warriors achieved important results in imposing long-range sanctions against Russian facilities that fuel this war. Ukrainian drones reached Siberia and struck the oil refinery in Omsk – nearly 2,500 kilometers from Ukraine. Now, no Russian oil refinery is beyond the reach of Ukrainian weapons. Our responses to Russian strikes also targeted oil facilities in the Saratov, Rostov, Tver, Stavropol, and Krasnodar regions, as well as in Tatarstan and Bashkortostan. An airfield in the Voronezh region and a strategic enterprise in Tver were hit. Drones were also used against facilities in the Moscow, Leningrad, and Bryansk regions. Our long-range sanctions plan against Russia is firmly on track. I thank all of the units involved for their accuracy!

❗️Ukraine’s Minister of Defense Mykhailo Fedorov stated that Ukraine will not be able to surpass Russia in terms of the scale of funding or the number of personnel, but will prevail thanks to new technologies. According to him, during the latest massive attack on Kyiv, Ukrainian air defense intercepted 95% of the “Shahed” drones. With a full fleet of F-16s and a sufficient number of missiles, it would be able to intercept 80–90% of cruise missiles. In May, interceptor drones destroyed nearly 7,000 enemy UAVs. Ten Ukrainian companies are already testing cheap interceptor missiles, preparations for winter are underway, and laser air defense systems are being tested. Each square kilometer of Russian advance costs the Russian military 400 killed.

🟪 MOSCOW IS FORCING RUSSIA TO MAKE A CHOICE 👀 A Pantsir air defense system fitted with an anti-drone “grill” has reportedly been spotted in Moscow, fueling speculation that Russia is continuing to redeploy air defense assets away from other areas in order to protect the capital. If true, the implications are significant. Air defense systems are not unlimited. Every Pantsir moved to Moscow is a Pantsir that cannot protect a logistics hub, ammunition depot, airfield, refinery, command center, or military formation elsewhere. This highlights one of the most important effects of Ukraine’s long-range drone campaign. Ukraine is no longer simply destroying targets. It is forcing Russia to make difficult choices. For years, Russian air defenses were concentrated around military facilities and the front. Now Moscow itself increasingly requires protection as Ukrainian drones reach deeper into Russian territory with growing frequency. The result is a dilemma for the Kremlin. Protect the front lines and logistics networks. Or protect Moscow. Protect refineries and military infrastructure. Or protect the political heart of Russia. The appearance of additional air defenses around the capital may suggest that Moscow is becoming a higher priority, and that alone represents a strategic success for Ukraine’s long-range strike campaign. Russia still possesses significant air defense capabilities, but even the largest arsenal has limits. The more territory Ukraine can threaten, the more Russia is forced to spread those defenses thin. And every system guarding Moscow is one less system guarding the war effort elsewhere.

Ukrainian drones have attacked Moscow's largest oil refinery. One in three cars in Moscow runs on fuel from that refinery—but now, drones have struck it. The Moscow refinery meets around 35% of the Russian capital's fuel needs. The facility supplies up to 40% of Moscow's gasoline requirements and about 50% of its diesel needs. Bitumen from the Moscow refinery is used in the construction or repair of one in every two roads in the Russian capital. Although the Kremlin has redeployed a significant portion of its air defense systems to Moscow, drones still managed to strike one of the country's key fuel facilities.

‼️ We are witnessing a pivotal moment in Russia’s war against Ukraine this spring. Ukrainians are bringing the war back to where it came from. Over the past few weeks, Ukraine has begun launching more aerial drone strikes on Russian territory than Russia is carrying out in Ukraine. Unlike the Kremlin, Kyiv is targeting Russian facilities related to the military-industrial complex, while Russia continues to strike civilians, churches, schools, and maternity hospitals. This footage is from the latest massive Ukrainian drone swarm attack on Russian oil terminals in the Port of Novorossiysk, in Russia’s Krasnodar region, on the night of Monday, April 6. In the videos, we can see oil infrastructure burning across the port.
