On the night of August 21, Ukrainian drones struck a Russian oil refinery in Perm and the "Marinovka" military airfield in the Volgograd region. According to available reports, the destruction of a Russian Su-34 fighter-bomber has been confirmed.
“We continue to use our long-range strikes to return the consequences of the war to where it came from,” the head of state wrote.
According to him, the precision strikes reached the oil refinery in Perm. The distance to the target was over 1,600 kilometers from the border.
The second target was the “Marinovka” military airfield in Russia’s Volgograd region. There were also results from strikes in the Black Sea.
The president also spoke about the consequences of earlier attacks:
- a Russian Su-34 aircraft was damaged at the Akhtubinsk airfield, located about 600 kilometers from the front line;
- in Primorsko-Akhtarsk, nearly 180 kilometers away, a facility used for storing, preparing, and launching attack drones—which the Russians use to strike against Ukrainians—was hit.
“Thank you to all units of our Ukrainian Defense Forces for their precision and accuracy. Glory to Ukraine!” Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his message of gratitude to the troops.
