Strikes on military and strategic facilities that provide military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine will continue - noted the General Staff.

This is one of the largest attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the city of Tuapse in history. The target of the attack was the port of Tuapse, where the 'Rosneft' oil refinery is located.
