Ukraine Hits Russian Oil Hub as War Enters ‘Important Phase’

Date:

Ukraine’s military claimed Monday it struck a major oil terminal in Russian-occupied Crimea, as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy declared the war has entered a crucial phase.

The Ukrainian General Staff said the attack on Feodosia’s oil terminal, which supplies fuel to Russian forces, aims to “undermine the military and economic potential of the Russian Federation.”

“This strike represents our ongoing strategy to disrupt Russia’s logistical capabilities,” said a Ukrainian military official, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Russian-installed authorities in Feodosia reported a fire at the terminal but did not specify the cause.

Zelenskyy, in a video statement, emphasized the war’s critical juncture. “We will continue to apply even greater pressure on Russia — because only through strength can we bring peace closer,” he said.

The conflict, now in its third year, has evolved into a war of attrition. Ukraine has increasingly targeted Russian rear areas with long-range drones, striking oil depots and armories to impair Russia’s front-line support.

Meanwhile, Russia launched overnight attacks on Ukraine, firing six missiles and 74 Shahed drones, according to Ukraine’s air force. Kyiv reported minor damage from missile debris.

As both sides grapple with sustaining their war efforts, attention turns to next weekend’s meeting at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, where defense leaders from over 50 nations will coordinate military aid to Ukraine.
