Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov commented on the Ukrainian attack on Russia with a threat from the Russian dictator to begin "conducting massive group strikes on a regular basis." He told journalists this on the sidelines of the Russia-ASEAN summit, UNN reports with reference to Russian media.
"I believe that all the right words have been spoken, but I have long been convinced that words are not enough. It is no coincidence that the president announced some time ago, after another stunt by the Kyiv terrorist, that we will now conduct massive group strikes on a regular basis against targets on which the combat capability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine directly depends,"

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin stated that his army would increase strikes on the territory of Ukraine.
As a reminder
On the night of June 18, 2026, units of the Defense Forces in the Moscow region of the Russian Federation repeatedly struck the Moscow Oil Refinery. Obviously, this was a response to the strike, in particular, on the Assumption Cathedral of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, which Russia carried out during a massive attack on Kyiv on June 15.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the strikes on the Moscow refinery and in the Rostov region. Footage appeared online of Ukrainian FP-1 drones, manufactured by the Ukrainian company Fire Point, over the Russian capital, which the "Pantsir" system unsuccessfully attempted to shoot down. This is already the second strike on the Moscow refinery.
