Ukraine says it hits more Russian fuel tankers as Crimea campaign intensifies

  • Ukraine's Security Service struck the Cherkasy linear production dispatch station in the Republic of Bashkortostan overnight on July 8, hitting a key node of the Transneft-Ural pipeline system roughly 1,500 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.
  • Following a standing directive from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to degrade Russia's military-economic potential, the strike occurred during one of the most intensive overnight drone raids on Russian oil infrastructure to date.
  • Operating a tank farm with capacity exceeding 385,000 cubic meters, the facility handles almost two million tons of petroleum products annually; military officials reported about 50 enemy energy hubs hit since month's start.
  • Gazprom reported that Ukrainian drones struck the Krasnodarskaya compressor station on the evening of July 7, describing the incident as an attempt at "disrupting the uninterrupted supply of Russian gas to Turkey."
  • Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov raised these attacks with Ankara during the NATO summit, while State Duma member Sergey Altukhov condemned the incident as "energy terrorism" against Turkey and Russia.
