Defence Intelligence explains how strikes on Russian oil depots benefit Ukrainian army
A strike on a Russian oil depot in Klintsy is adversely affecting supplies to the Russian army and increasing the Ukrainian army's ability to manoeuvre, Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence says.

Quote: "It’s clear that when it comes to an oil depot which supplies the occupation corps with fuel and more, this [the strike – ed.] is going to complicate logistics for the occupiers. It disrupts their supply schedules. Accordingly, it gives our defenders space and time to manoeuvre."
Details: Yusov reiterated that Ukrainian drones can hit targets at a distance of more than 900 km. He said that the Russians should be asking questions of the Russian leadership, because these are consequences of the aggression they unleashed against Ukraine. "The local population is beginning to understand that reality and propaganda are very different, because Russian propaganda has once again claimed that nothing happened – that some targets were shot down and neutralised," he said.
Background:
- Yusov said on Thursday that a drone attack on a St Petersburg oil depot on the night of 17-18 January demonstrated a "new level of quality" of weaponry.
- A source in the intelligence services told Ukrainska Pravda that on the night of 18-19 January, Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence conducted another special operation in Russia using Ukrainian drones. The drones attacked the Tambov gunpowder plant and an oil depot in Klintsy, Bryansk Oblast.
