Zelensky says Ukraine drones hit oil refinery in Russia’s Tyumen, now have 3,000km range
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Saturday that Ukrainian drones had struck an oil refinery in Russia’s Tyumen Region in western Siberia, more than 2,000km (1,200 miles) from Ukraine.
He also said Ukraine had developed new long-range drones capable of operating over more than 3,000 km.
Speaking in his nightly video address, Zelensky offered thanks to the Ukrainian military’s special operations which “have reached Tyumen Region in Russia, including an oil refining facility. More than 2,000 km from our state border. This is effective work.”
Ukraine’s military has been engaged for months in a campaign of medium- and long-range strikes on Russian targets, focusing mainly on the oil industry, to hinder Moscow’s capability in funding the war.
The governor of Tyumen Region, Alexander Moor, earlier said that Russian air defences repelled a drone attack on the oil refinery.
