“It's time to end this war. However, the Russian authorities want to continue hostilities,” Volodymyr Zelensky said on Saturday.
The President of Ukraine also announced further attacks on Russia. “Russia must end the war and stop attacks on people. Any manifestations of injustice against Ukraine will be met with a just response,” he said.
Ukrainian attacks on the Baltic Fleet and fuel depot
“Several Special Operations Forces drones successfully reached their designated targets. A fire was reported on the base,” the Ukrainian army said. The base is home to warships, including submarines, training centers, repair docks and shipyards. The Kronstadt naval base is located approx. km from the border with Ukraine.
Earlier on Saturday morning, local authorities reported on Telegram that a drone attack had caused a fire at a fuel depot in the city of Ust-Labinsk in the Krasnodar Krai in southern European Russia.
Russia reports the interception of Ukrainian drones
Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported on Saturday that last night Russian forces intercepted or shot down 376 Ukrainian drones over the country.
On Wednesday, on the first day of the International Economic Forum in St. Petersburg, Ukrainian drones struck a nearby oil installation and a military facility, as a result of which guests arriving at the event could see plumes of black smoke in the distance.
Ukraine has recently intensified attacks on industrial facilities in Russia, especially those related to the energy sector. This translates into a reduction in the volume of Russian exports of oil and gas products.
