SBU claims strikes on two oil pumping stations supplying fuel to Moscow
Kyiv • UNN
The SBU struck oil stations in Russia's Vladimir region at a distance of 700 km. The facilities provided fuel for Moscow and for export through Baltic Sea ports.
SBU special forces struck the "Vtorovo" and "Lobkovo" oil pumping stations in the Vladimir region of the Russian Federation. The distance to the targets is about 700 km, UNN reports with reference to the SBU.
Fulfilling the tasks set by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the SBU "Alpha" special forces struck the "Vtorovo" and "Lobkovo" oil pumping stations in the Vladimir region of the Russian Federation. The distance to the targets is about 700 km
The main purpose of the stations is the pumping of diesel fuel to the Moscow Ring Oil Product Pipeline, as well as the transportation of oil products for export to Baltic Sea ports. In particular, through the Primorsk oil port.
Local authorities confirmed fires at two infrastructure facilities following SBU drone strikes. According to the NASA FIRMS service, thermal anomalies indicating fires were recorded in the areas where both oil pumping stations are located.
Striking such facilities is of strategic importance, as they are vital links in Russia's fuel logistics. Disruption of oil pumping stations complicates the supply of fuel to industrial centers and military infrastructure, and also negatively affects the export of oil products. Each such strike reduces the resource capabilities of the aggressor state and cuts the revenues that the Kremlin directs toward waging war against Ukraine
As a reminder
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine confirmed the strike on the "VNIIR-Progress" enterprise, which produces navigation systems for missiles and UAVs, using FP-5 "Flamingo" missiles.
Earlier, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the strike on a military plant in Cheboksary with FP-5 Flamingo missiles produced by the Ukrainian company Fire Point.
