Russia was once again hit by overnight strikes by Ukrainian forces, this time striking two additional Russian oil refineries in Ufa, some 1,500 kilometers away from the front line, and an oil depot in Krasnodar, some 300 kilometers from Ukraine. In the wake of the strikes, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy indicated that Russia is now taking steps to protect its most valuable targets by shifting air defenses from the front lines.
