In this section, it is reported that over the past day, Ukrainian forces have inflicted significant losses on Russian occupiers along the entire front line, with a total of 170 occupying soldiers killed or wounded and a variety of military equipment destroyed or damaged. The Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) has continued its operations targeting the Russian Federation's oil refineries and storage facilities, diminishing their economic and military potential for waging war against Ukraine. These targeted attacks aim to disrupt the infrastructure responsible for supplying the occupying forces in Ukraine, forcing the aggressor country to divert resources to rebuilding infrastructure rather than fueling their military operations. The SBU's strategic strikes on these critical facilities contribute to weakening the enemy's ability to sustain its war efforts, with a focus on disrupting the enemy's military-industrial complex.
