Quote: "Our new long-range sanctions – and this is 500 kilometres from our state border. We are rightfully bringing the war back to where it came from. Russia could have ended its aggression long ago but instead chose to prolong and continue it. So another facility of Russia's oil industry has been reached – Armavir, Krasnodar Krai."

Details: Zelenskyy thanked the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) personnel for carrying out the operation.

Quote: "What matters is that, step by step, we are carrying out our plan of long-range sanctions – in response to everything Russia is doing against our country and our people. All forms of our sanctions – legal and entirely practical long-range ones – are working to bring peace closer."

Background: Earlier, Major Robert "Magyar" Brovdi, Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces of Ukraine, reported that on the night of 29-30 May, drones operated by the Unmanned Systems Forces hit a tanker belonging to the shadow fleet and an oil depot in the Russian city of Taganrog, as well as a maritime oil terminal in temporarily occupied Feodosiia in Crimea.
