Long-range sanctions without warning: occupiers have lost radars and "Pantsir" systems — Zelensky

On the night of June 21, 2026 Ukrainian defenders carried out a series of long-range strikes on facilities that support the Russian occupation army. Struck were military logistics, oil industry infrastructure and the enemy’s air defense assets. The results of the night combat operation were reported by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, on his Telegram channel.

According to the head of state, the operation was carried out by soldiers of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Main Intelligence Directorate and the Special Operations Forces. Ukrainian strike assets successfully engaged targets located approximately 300 kilometers from the front line.

The strikes were carried out against facilities located on both sides of the Crimean Bridge. In the Krasnodar region the maritime logistics infrastructure used by the occupiers to transport oil was hit.

Another target was an oil depot in temporarily occupied Kerch. Thus, Ukrainian forces simultaneously attacked oil logistics facilities on Russian territory and on the occupied Crimean Peninsula.

In addition to the oil infrastructure, the military logistics of the Russian occupiers were successfully struck. The report did not provide more detailed information about the locations of these facilities or the extent of the damage inflicted on them.

The enemy’s air defense system also suffered significant losses. According to the president, Ukrainian forces struck 4 radar stations, that were part of the S-400 surface-to-air missile systems.

Also hit were 2 Russian Pantsir anti-aircraft missile and gun systems “Pantsir”. The occupiers use these systems to protect military and infrastructure facilities from air attacks.

Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized that the night operation was a just response to Russian strikes on Ukrainian cities and the civilian population. The president thanked the soldiers of all involved units for their precision and professionalism.
