Zelensky: Ukrainian long-range sanctions reach Perm again – over 1,500 km from frontline

According to Ukrinform, President Volodymyr Zelensky said this in a Facebook post.

He thanked Ukrainian warriors for their precision strikes.

“Today, Ukraine’s long-range sanctions have once again reached Perm, which is more than 1,500 kilometers from our border. Recently, there have also been important results in Chelyabinsk – up to 1,800 kilometers away, as well as in Yekaterinburg – nearly 2,000 kilometers away. The effects of Ukraine’s long-range capabilities have also been felt in Novorossiysk, Krymsk, Tuapse, and in the Samara and Nizhny Novgorod region,” the President said.

He recalled that Ukraine had repeatedly offered the Russian leadership the option of moving toward peace.

“In response, we have received only new Russian strikes. That is exactly why Ukraine’s long-range sanctions are extending to distant locations in Russia linked to its military-industrial complex, war infrastructure, and the financing of its aggression,” Zelensky stressed.

The President noted that every day Russia has the option to stop its war “not for a few hours in order to receive our permission to hold a parade in Moscow, but in a way that protects human lives.”

“People must be valued, not parades. There is a need to establish peace, rather than running around the world’s capitals begging for a pause on May 9,” he said.

“We need peace. Thank you to everyone helping bring Russia to this realization,” Zelensky added.

As reported by Ukrinform, Robert 'Madyar' Brovdi confirmed another strike on an oil facility in Perm, Russia, located 1,550 kilometers from the frontline, during the night of May 7.
