Ukraine said on Wednesday that its forces struck Russia’s St. Petersburg Oil Terminal overnight, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky.
In a post on X, Zelensky said the target was about 1,100 kilometers from Ukraine’s state border and described it as part of Russia’s oil infrastructure supporting the war effort.
He also claimed Ukrainian forces hit “pure military targets” at the Kronstadt naval base, along with a facility in Russia’s Tambov region linked to weapons production.
The St. Petersburg Oil Terminal is one of the largest petroleum transshipment facilities in northwestern Russia, with an annual handling capacity of 12.5 million tons.
Zelensky did not provide further operational details, and there was no independent verification of the claims. Russian authorities have not confirmed the reported strikes.
The developments come amid continued cross-border attacks as the conflict persists, with both sides regularly reporting strikes on strategic infrastructure and military-linked facilities.
