Today I signed a decree on the creation of a special command within the Armed Forces – a command of long-range, in fact – global influence on Russia for this war 

According to the President, this command should concentrate one hundred percent of available resources to further reduce Russia's war potential.

The commander in this direction will be strong and certainly as experienced as possible, Zelenskyy emphasized.

Recall

During a meeting, US President Donald Trump called Ukrainian strikes on targets on Russian territory an escalation that could help bring the war closer to an end. 

"We hope this will create space for negotiations to end this war. Yes, it is an escalation, but at the same time, such an escalation can help bring it closer to an end," Trump said. 

The day before the meeting, as UNN reported, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, speaking at the NATO Defense Industry Forum, emphasized that Russia had lost its territorial advantage - its deep rear. The Head of State made this statement after Ukrainian drones struck an oil refinery in Siberia. This refers to the Omsk Oil Refinery, located at a distance of over 2,500 km in a straight line from the Ukrainian border. 

The chief designer of Fire Point, Denys Shtilerman, said that during the attack on the Omsk Refinery, a new modification of the Ukrainian long-range drone FP-1 was used. This refinery became the farthest target deep inside Russia that was hit by drones launched from Ukraine.

Currently, there is not a single major oil refinery left on the territory of Russia that has not been hit by Ukrainian strike UAVs. And Ukrainian strikes continue.
