| 2026-06-04 |
| [NYPost] Ukraine unleashed a massive drone blitz on Russia’s largest fuel export hub in St. Petersburg Wednesday morning – sending a stinging blow to Vladimir Putin as he kicks off his ritzy annual economic forum. The attack on Putin’s hometown – where the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum is being held this week – left thick black smoke billowing into the sky after long-range drones slammed into the Petersburg Oil Terminal after Russian air defenses failed to stop them. Ukraine also hit the Kronstadt naval base and shipyard in Leningrad Oblast, with footage released by Kyiv showing damage to Russian warships, including the Baltic Fleet corvette Boikiy. |
