Marking the largest attack on Russia since World War II, Ukraine has launched a series of powerful missile attacks on the capital, Moscow. As a result of these attacks, a Russian oil refinery is burning fiercely, and the sky over Moscow is reportedly covered in flames and smoke.
The 'Kapotnya' oil refinery, responsible for about 40 percent of Moscow's total energy supply, has been the main target of these air attacks. It is noteworthy that this series of attacks was launched on the final day of Russia's parliamentary elections.It has been confirmed that Ukraine used over 1,600 drones and missiles yesterday morning for this massive operation. Among them were 'FP-5 Flamingo' cruise missiles capable of traveling 1,900 miles and carrying 2,500-pound warheads. Additionally, Ukraine's own 'Pelican' ballistic missiles were used in combat for the first time, and 'MICH-2000' long-range attack drones were also part of this assault. The attack also damaged an apartment complex, and the Moscow governor stated that two people were killed and about twenty others were injured.
Appreciating the success of this attack, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked his warriors for their accuracy and stated that this attack, which caused billions of dollars in losses to the Kremlin, would have a highly significant impact. He also expressed his gratitude to everyone who contributed to strengthening Ukraine's long-range strike capabilities. The Ukrainian Minister of Defense emphasized that targeting Russian oil facilities directly undermines the enemy's ability to continue the war. This operation was launched despite Donald Trump's request to stop such attacks.
Despite launching such a massive attack against Russia, neighboring Polish reports indicate that Ukraine is currently facing a severe crisis. It is reported that Ukraine is losing nearly 27,000 soldiers per month due to the high-speed kamikaze jet drone attacks introduced by Russia. Due to these unprecedented casualties, Ukraine faces the risk of a severe troop shortage in the future. Meanwhile, preliminary calculations reveal that the ruling United Russia party, which supports Vladimir Putin, is heading towards victory in the Russian parliamentary elections, widely criticized as a fraudulent one filled with irregularities. The establishment of polling stations even in Ukrainian territories under Russian control has caused strong anger for the Kyiv government.
