Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський(@ZelenskyyUa):We have completely eliminated the very idea of Russia having a strategic rear. For a long time, Russia believed it had a territorial advantage no one else possEssed – a deep rear where it could safely keep military production, military equipment, and everything its war depends on, believing no one could reach them. We have reached them. Just yesterday, Ukrainian drones broke-through Russia’s defenses and struck a Russian oil-refinery in Siberia. This is not an exception. It is the new reality. There is no major oil-refinery left in Russia that has not been struck by Ukraine. From a speech at the NATO Defense Industry Forum. (3/5)
