Today marks yet another achievement by our Ukrainian Defense Forces – another facility in Russia's oil refining industry was hit, and the distance was significant – more than 2,500 kilometers. This was in Tobolsk, in Siberia. Now this region is within reach of our deep strikes. A very significant achievement by our Ukrainian warriors. I thank everyone for their accuracy. There will be more Ukrainian deep strikes, which should demonstrate to Russia and the Russians that peace is necessary. We have Russia's internal polling data showing that the number of people who want this war to end is already increasing. This must become even more apparent. So that Putin, his administration, his FSB henchmen, and everyone else in the aggressor state understand equally well: peace is the only option. Today, I want to thank all the media outlets that care, all the journalists, all the media, all the bloggers, and all the podcasters around the world who show and tell the truth about what is happening in this war and how it is happening. This is the first time in Russia's history that they no longer have a secure strategic rear. For the first time, they cannot wage war without reinforcements from North Korea.
