Zelenskyy Revealed Details of the Strike on the Omsk Oil Refinery

Ukrainian long-range weapons struck an oil refinery in Omsk—located nearly 2,500 kilometers from the Ukrainian border—for the first time. 

According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the successful attack on the Siberian facility was carried out using upgraded Fire Point drones.

The head of state emphasized that expanding the geographic scope of the strikes is part of a systematic plan of “long-range sanctions” against Russia’s oil economy and logistics. Zelenskyy expressed his gratitude to the Security Service of Ukraine, the Main Intelligence Directorate, and the Unmanned Systems Forces—not only for the operation in Siberia but also for previous strikes on the oil refinery in Yaroslavl and other fuel facilities on Russian territory and in the temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories. At the end of his address, the president noted that the effective work of Ukrainian medium- and long-range drones will force the Kremlin leadership to recognize the need to end the war and accept the terms of a just peace.

Following the attack by Ukrainian drones on the Omsk oil refinery, approximately 85% of Russia’s oil refining capacity is now within range of Ukrainian drones.
