According to Ukrinform, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this in a Facebook post.
"Overnight, the Defense Forces of Ukraine struck sites used for the storage, preparation, and launch of attack drones in the Oryol and Rostov regions. There were strikes on a military airfield in Yeysk and in the Black Sea. Our warriors also imposed long-range sanctions on an oil refinery in the Leningrad region that generates millions of dollars every month for Russia's war budget. Effective long-range work over the course of this week has also been confirmed, including against facilities in Bashkortostan and the Arkhangelsk region. Every day, Russia must feel that the war is returning to where it came from," Zelensky said.

He noted that the vast majority of the weapons and equipment the aggressor uses to terrorize Ukrainian cities and communities cannot function without thousands upon thousands of foreign-made components, chemicals, and machine tools that Russia purchases in the West.
Zelensky also said that Ukraine regularly provides its partners with details about Russian schemes for circumventing sanctions.
As Ukrinform reported, Ukraine's Defense Forces struck the Kirishi Oil Refinery, a UAV launch site, and the Yeysk airfield in Russia overnight on August 30.
