What specific targets did Ukraine strike in its latest attack on Russia’s energy infrastructure, and where were they located?

Ukraine struck an oil pumping station in Russia’s Perm region—more than 1,500 kilometers from the Ukrainian border—and the sanctioned tanker Marquise in the Black Sea, 210 kilometers southeast of Tuapse. The Perm facility, operated by Transneft PJSC, suffered fires across most of its reservoirs; the Marquise, a Cameroon-flagged vessel with disabled identification signals and no cargo aboard, was linked to Russia and sanctioned by the UK and EU.

Why is Ukraine intensifying strikes on Russian oil infrastructure, and what strategic goal has President Zelenskiy stated regarding strike range?

Ukraine is intensifying strikes on Russia’s oil infrastructure—including refineries, pumping stations, and sea terminals—to reduce Moscow’s windfall revenues from the global oil price rally triggered by the Iran war. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has stated Ukraine aims to extend the range of its strikes inside Russia beyond 1,500 kilometers.
