Ukrainian troops have targeted a key Novoshakhtinsk oil refinery in Russia’s Rostov region, a strategic site for the Russian military, according to Ukraine’s General Staff.
The operation was a joint effort by the Ukrainian Navy, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), and other Defense Forces units.
“This is the only refinery operating in the Rostov region and is used to supply the Russian Armed Forces,” said the General Staff.
The refinery produces fuel oil, straight-run gasoline, furnace fuel, marine fuel, and diesel fuel, and has a processing capacity of 7.5 million tons of crude oil annually.
The drone stikes caused a fire at the refinery’s catalytic cracking unit called ELOU-AVT-2.5, but the extent of the damage is still unclear as Russian officials are trying to cover it up.
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
