Strikes on Russian oil facilities by Ukraine's newly developed long-range missiles and drones are causing significant gas shortages in Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said. Ukraine's new Palianytsia missile has hit dozens of Russian military depots.

The Ruta missile drone, meanwhile, recently struck a Russian offshore oil platform more than 250 km away in what Zelenskyy called "a major success" for the new weapon.

Also, Liutyi and Fire Point long-range drones, have hit Russian energy facilities, and Ukrainian forces recently fired Neptune and Flamingo missile systems at Russia. Russian fuel shortages and higher imports indicate that Ukraine's attacks are working, Zelenskyy said.
