Ukraine carried out a wave of long-range strikes targeting oil and military infrastructure deep inside Russia, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Wednesday.
Zelenskyy said Ukrainian forces struck the Kuibyshev oil refinery in the Samara region. He added that Ukraine also hit two oil infrastructure facilities in the Vladimir region.
We continue to apply Ukrainian long-range sanctions against Russian military facilities and the oil industry. In particular, last night Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingos struck a military plant in Cheboksary that supplies the occupier’s army with components for drones and missiles. I… pic.twitter.com/WdA2yUhsyC

Ukrainian forces also struck the VNIIR-Progress plant in Cheboksary, according to Zelenskyy.
According to the Ukrainian president, the attacks involved FP-5 “Flamingo” cruise missiles and drones. A single FP-5 “Flamingo” missile can carry roughly one ton of explosives and travel up to about 1,860 miles at low altitude.

Wednesday’s strike marked the second successful attack on Progress facilities in just over a month. After the company’s administrative building was hit on May 5, the complex was reinforced with drone nets.
Ukraine’s General Staff has previously said the VNIIR-Progress plant in Cheboksary produces Kometa-series navigation modules used in Shahed-type drones, Iskander-M ballistic missiles, Kalibr cruise missiles, and guided aerial bomb kits.
Moscow confirmed widespread aerial activity overnight, saying its air defenses intercepted 326 Ukrainian drones across 20 regions, including 12 near the capital. Russian officials described the barrage as one of the largest coordinated drone assaults of the war. Independent verification of the full scale of the attack was not immediately available.
