"A fuel depot was destroyed near the village of Smila in Cherkasy region, where more than 100,000 tonnes of aviation fuel for the Ukrainian air forces was stored," the defence ministry said.







Russia's defence ministry said Sunday it destroyed a depot in central Ukraine that was storing over 100,000 tonnes of aviation fuel.


"A fuel depot was destroyed near the village of Smila in Cherkasy region, where more than 100,000 tonnes of aviation fuel for the Ukrainian air forces was stored," the defence ministry said in its daily briefing.


The Russian MoD’s latest statements on the Ukraine conflict:


  • The Russian Armed Forces have continued launching attacks using high-precision long-range air-based armament at the military control and energy systems of Ukraine over the past 24 hours. All the assigned targets have been neutralized.


  • All the enemy attacks have been repelled near Kupyansk, in south Donetsk and along the Nykolayev–Krivoy Rog axis.


  • Operational-tactical and army aviation, missile troops and artillery continue to strike Ukraine’s military facilities.


  • Kiev continues its provocations at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, possibly aimed at creating a technological disaster.


  • Some 325 airplanes and 162 helicopters, 2,323 unmanned aerial vehicles, 383 anti-aircraft missile systems, 5,997 tanks and other armored fighting vehicles, 874 combat vehicles equipped with multiple rocket-launching systems, 3,517 field artillery cannons and mortars, as well as 6,720 units of special military hardware have been destroyed during the special military operation.


After the Russian attack on the fuel depot, the British defense ministry seemed like a clean-handed person making a tweet on his Twitter account ready to mediate a ceasefire.
