Zelensky confirms strikes on Russian shadow fleet and drone hubs

Original version ·

Ukraine just delivered a rather explosive audit to oil depots, drone supply warehouses, and five illicit ships lurking across the Black and Azov seas.

When international partners take six months to debate maritime paperwork, Ukraine apparently opts for same-day delivery. Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that long-range strikes pounded key logistics hubs in southern Russia, wiping out drone component warehouses, navigation systems, and another unlucky oil depot.

The real headline-grabber happened on the water: Ukrainian forces hit an oil tanker and four bulk carriers belonging to Russia's shadow fleet. These are the ghost ships flying obscure flags to sneak oil around embargoes and ferry military kit under the radar.

Hiding an entire illicit merchant navy in shallow seas gets awkward fast when the counterparty treats sanction enforcement as a target-practice drill.
