乌克兰对位于亚速海的两艘俄方油轮发动了无人机攻击，导致其中一艘仍在燃烧 [1]。此次行动还波及特维尔州和斯塔夫罗波尔州的多个石油仓库、乌法的泵站以及罗斯托夫地区的装油终端 [1]。泽连斯基表示，这些距离前线约 800 公里的储备燃料储存设施和 1500 公里外的泵站均在此次打击范围内，该行动是作为对俄罗斯拒绝停战提议的“远程制裁”的一部分 [1]。
袭击导致超过 90% 的俄罗斯地区实施了汽油和柴油配给或报告出现短缺 [1]。针对此次冲突升级，克里姆林宫发言人佩斯科夫警告称，通过增加军事压力来推动和平解决的观点是错误的 [1]。与此同时，俄罗斯国防部声称击落了 73 架乌克兰无人机，而乌克兰空军则反驳说俄方发射了 94 架远程攻击无人机和 2 枚弹道导弹 [1]。美国总统特朗普对此表示支持，他称此次袭击是“有助于结束战争的升级”，并表态将支持乌克兰制造爱国者防空系统 [1]。
Ukraine launched a series of drone strikes against multiple fuel storage facilities within Russia and two tankers on the Sea of Azov. [1] The attack ignited two vessels, one of which remains burning as reported by Ukrainian forces. [1] These operations targeted infrastructure including oil warehouses in Tver and Stavropol regions, an oil pumping station near Ufa, and a loading terminal in Rostov region. [1] President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the strikes hit fuel storage facilities located approximately 800 kilometers from the front line and a pumping station over 1,500 kilometers away. [1] He described this action as part of "long-range sanctions" in response to Russia's refusal to negotiate for peace. [1]
The attacks have reportedly exacerbated a fuel crisis across Russia, with more than 90% of the country's regions implementing rationing or reporting shortages of gasoline and diesel. [1] In retaliation, Russian authorities warned that increased military pressure would not force Moscow to make concessions. [1] The Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, stated that attempting to push for a peace settlement through escalation is incorrect. [1] Meanwhile, the US President Donald Trump expressed support for Ukraine's production of Patriot air defense systems and characterized the strikes as an "escalation helping end the war." [1]
Regarding the aerial engagement itself, Russia's Ministry of Defense claimed it shot down 73 Ukrainian drones during the conflict. [1] Conversely, the Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russian forces launched 94 long-range attack drones and two ballistic missiles in response to Ukraine's actions. [1]
