#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost_ . . . Ukrainian forces have stabilized the situation in Sumy Oblast and pushed the Russian army further away from Sumy, the region’s capital, Ukraine’s General Staff reported on June 30.

Moscow launched its new summer campaign in May, aiming to push deeper into Ukraine’s northeastern and eastern regions and disregarding Kyiv’s calls for an unconditional ceasefire.

Ukrainian troops advanced near the village of Oleksiivka, located less than 30 kilometers (18 miles) from the city of Sumy, and liberated the village of Andriivka, which had been captured by Russia in early June, the statement read.

In the meantime, Ukraine also stopped the Russian advance along the Yunakivka-Yablunivka-Novomykolayivka-Oleksiivka-Kindrativka line and the border with Russia near Kursk Oblast, according to the General Staff.

Ukrainian forces hit several more Russian targets in occupied Ukraine and Crimea over the past 48 hours. 🇺🇦👏💙💛🙏🇺🇦

#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost_ . . . Ukraine’s General Staff said its forces struck an airfield, ammunition depots, and bridges across occupied Ukraine overnight on July 5.

Separately, Robert Brovdi, commander of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces, said Kyiv had hit 16 power stations across Crimea over the past 48 hours, causing blackouts across the occupied peninsula.

Ukraine regularly strikes military infrastructure deep within Russia and occupied territories in an effort to diminish Moscow’s ability to continue waging its war. Kyiv has stepped up attacks in recent months, with a particular focus on Russian logistics and energy infrastructure.

Ukraine’s general staff said on July 5 that it struck the Hvardiiske airfield in Crimea, two bridges used for logistics in Donetsk Oblast, and ammunition depots in occupied areas of Donetsk, Luhansk, and Kherson Oblasts.

“Hvardiiske airfield is one of the key military airfields of the Russian Federation in the temporarily occupied Crimean peninsula,” Ukraine’s general staff wrote on Telegram.

“It is used for basing operational-tactical and naval aircraft, ensuring combat sorties, logistics, and technical maintenance of aviation equipment,” they added.

The extent of the damage is still being assessed.

Now Russian oil refineries that supply Russian Armed Forces in Saratov and Samara oblasts are feeling the pain of strikes by Ukraine. 🇺🇦🛢️🔥💙💛👏🙏🇺🇦

#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost_ . . . Ukraine’s General Staff said that it had struck two oil refineries overnight on Sept. 20 in Russia’s Saratov and Samara oblasts, confirming earlier reports on social media from Russian residents.

The General Staff also added in its announcement that it had damaged the main transport infrastructure facility in Samara. It said that explosions and fires had been recorded, while the final results of these strikes are still being determined.

“All affected facilities are involved in supplying the Russian Armed Forces,” the General Staff wrote.

“The Defense Forces of Ukraine are systematically implementing measures aimed at reducing the military-economic potential of the aggressor state. In particular, this is the undermining of the Russian Federation’s logistical capabilities in the oil refining sector and the disruption of the systems for providing the Russian Federation’s armed forces with fuel and lubricants.”

The news comes as Kyiv continues to escalate its campaign against Russian oil and gas infrastructure, a key source of Moscow’s revenues helping to fuel its all-out invasion of Ukraine.

In the Russian city of Saratov, drones struck an oil refinery in the outskirts of the city.

Videos posted on social media by residents appear to show a drone striking the refinery, causing a large explosion. Russian Telegram channels posted images and videos of the large fire seen from the city.
