The campaign pledge to continue attacks on Ukraine was made by Vladimir Putin, who presented them as a “guarantee” of security for Russia.
Speaking at the conference of the ruling “United Russia” party ahead of the parliamentary elections to be held in September, Vladimir Putin pledged today that “he will guarantee the country’s security and address the challenges.” This is because Ukraine is fighting back and continuing its strikes against Russian military and refinery infrastructure, in an effort to weaken Moscow’s war effort.
“We see the problems. We acknowledge them and are addressing them. However, we will undoubtedly guarantee the security of our country and our citizens,” said Russian President Vladimir Putin at his party’s conference.
“We will undoubtedly tackle all the challenges we face today, including terrorist attacks against our territory and infrastructure,” Vladimir Putin emphasized, referring to Kyiv’s strikes on the territory of Russia.
We recall that in recent months, Ukraine has intensified its campaign of strikes against Russia and the regions of Ukraine under Russian control. Ukraine’s campaign is being carried out as retaliation for the bombings of Moscowthat have plunged the city into mourning almost daily since the start of the full-scale Russian offensive in February 2022.
It should be noted that Kyiv is primarily targeting energy infrastructurein order to stop the flow of massive profits from hydrocarbons that allow the Kremlin to finance its war effort.
Russian President, Vladimir Putin made these remarks a few hours after a massive attack by Ukrainian drones in the Krasnodar region of southwestern Russia, during which one person was killed and a fire broke out at the large Slavyansk refinery on the Kuban River, according to regional governor Benjamin Kontratyev.
It should be noted that on June 18, an attack took place at a large refinery in Moscow, causing major explosions and a widespread fire.
For his part, the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated today that “these strikes mean fewer resources for the Russian war machine and a new step toward peace.” He was referring to Ukrainian strikes on oil refineries in Slavyansk on the Kuban River and in the Yaroslavl region, north of Moscow.
