Ukrainians have grown tired of stoically enduring systematic Russian attacks against their civilian population.<\/p>\n
This week, a Russian attack on Kyiv killed 24 civilians, including 3 children<\/a>, in an attack that is not an isolated incident: it is part of a Kremlin strategy of terror against the Ukrainian people. Yesterday, Ukraine launched a large-scale response by launching hundreds of drones against Russia and occupied Crimea<\/strong>, counterattacks that have continued today. This afternoon, the Ukrainian newspaper Kyiv Post<\/a> reported that, according to data provided by the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces (SBS), Ukrainian drones successfully attacked 46 Russian targets in a total of 186 precision strikes.<\/strong><\/p>\n This afternoon, at 13:00 CET, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) reported<\/a> that, following orders from the President of Ukraine, specialists from the SBU's Alpha Special Operations Center, together with the Ukrainian Defense Forces, attacked the military-industrial complex and oil companies in the Moscow region<\/strong>, as well as the infrastructure and air defense systems of the Belbek military airfield in Crimea<\/strong>.<\/p>\n We\u2019re checking off the last square on the bingo card.<\/p>\n Ukrainian drones just hit the Moscow Oil Refinery in Kapotnya \u2014 one of the last "untouchable" ones.<\/p>\n Not anymore.
