Attack in Russia? Media: GUR operation

In an interview with the Ukrainska Pravda portal, a GUR representative stated that the Ukrainian military intelligence (GUR) was responsible for the attack.

- A military target in Ryazan has been hit. There is significant damage - the site quotes its source.

GUR usually does not officially inform about special military intelligence operations. However, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine emphasizes that refineries supplying the Russian arms industry are a legitimate target for Ukrainian forces.
