Ukraine strikes more oil facilities deep inside Russia, Zelenskyy says(Photo: MGN)KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine hit more oil facilities deep inside Russia in nighttime attacks, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Thursday, as Kyiv kept up its campaign to undermine Moscow’s wartime economy and embarrass the Kremlin.
The repeated strikes have caused fuel shortages and rattled Russians while heartening Ukrainians who are enduring regular Russian barrages that Kyiv’s weakened air defenses are struggling to counter.
Russian President Vladimir Putin thinks that time is on his side, that Western support will fade and that Ukraine’s resistance will eventually collapse under pressure, Western analysts and officials say.
Russia fired four missiles and 101 long-range strike drones at Ukraine from Wednesday into Thursday, Ukraine’s air force said, with air defenses shooting down or jamming 66 drones.
In the neighboring Sumy region, Russian glide bombs wounded 12 people, the National Police said.
