Defense Ministry says deep strike range against Russia increases by 170% since 2022
Since the start of the full-scale invasion, Ukraine’s Defense Forces have increased the range of deep strikes into Russia’s rear by more than 2.5 times, the Defense Ministry reported on its website on Tuesday.
"While in 2022 we managed to hit a military target approximately 630 km away, currently Ukrainian long-range weapons successfully destroy Russia’s war machine at a distance of about 1,750 km," the report said.
According to the Ministry of Defense, the Ukhta oil refinery in the Komi Republic (Russia) was hit at a distance of 1,750 km.
In addition, according to the defense department, five strategic plants and 10 Russian oil refining facilities were hit in March.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov emphasized that peace in Ukraine will come when the sky is closed, the Russian army loses its offensive potential, and the Russian economy cannot withstand the load. "We work every day to make this happen—so that every day of the war becomes a threat to Russia’s existence," he noted.
