Ukraine reaches St. Petersburg: Oil terminal goes up in smoke
Long-range strikes are no longer just a border issue as Ukraine hits a major fuel hub deep inside Russia.
It seems Ukraine just redefined the term 'long-range' by successfully tagging an oil terminal near St. Petersburg and a military site in Kronstadt. We are talking about a round trip of over 850 kilometers for those drones.
This terminal isn't just some random storage site; it is a massive export hub that keeps the cash flowing into the Russian war budget. The fact that it got hit so far from the border is a massive wake-up call for the Kremlin. It turns out that hiding behind a huge map doesn't actually keep your infrastructure safe from persistent long-range sanctions.
The irony of Russia losing nearly half its refining capacity while trying to sustain a war effort is starting to feel like a self-inflicted slow-motion car crash.
