There are new results by the Defense Forces of Ukraine regarding the oil refinery in Syzran; there was also a hit in Taganrog on a drone production enterprise, and on a drone preparation and launch site in the Oryol region. There were hits in the Black Sea as well," Zelenskyy wrote on his Telegram channel on Tuesday.
