Today, our long-range sanctions worked across three areas on Russian territory, as well as on our temporarily occupied land and at sea. In particular, in response to Russian strikes on our civilian infrastructure and on our cities and communities, two major logistics facilities were hit – in the Moscow and Tambov regions, more than 500 and nearly 700 kilometers from the front line. The aggressor used them to supply sanctioned components for drone production and navigation equipment. An oil facility was also struck. In addition, Ukrainian mid-range strikes engaged targets in the waters of the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea, and in our temporarily occupied Crimea. I thank the warriors of the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine – every unit of Ukraine's Defense Forces – for their precise and coordinated execution of these missions. Glory to Ukraine!

"Long-range sanctions" is a term used by Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy to refer to Ukrainian strikes on targets deep inside Russia, which contribute to their invasion of Ukraine.[2]
Ukraine has struck Russian oil refineries, arms factories and logistics warehouses (notably striking warehouses of Wildberries, an online retailer company which has been accused of providing components that assist in the Russian war effort).[citation needed]
