[Regnum] Russian troops struck the Odesa Oil Refinery's production facilities and a bulk carrier delivering supplies to the Ukrainian Armed Forces during the day. The Russian Defense Ministry's press service reported this on July 31.

Furthermore, Russian forces struck a fuel and lubricants storage tank in the port of Odessa. The strikes were carried out using air-launched precision weapons and drones.



The Russian army continues to systematically destroy enemy port infrastructure to disrupt maritime supplies to Ukrainian forces. On July 30, Russian forces struck four Ukrainian vessels carrying military cargo. The targets were neutralized in the ports of Odesa and Yuzhny, as well as at sea crossings. Furthermore, the Russian Armed Forces destroyed a fuel pumping station and a fuel distribution point in the village of Novi Belyary in the Odesa region.

On July 3, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated at a meeting with the military that massive strikes against Ukrainian military-industrial complex targets must continue. The head of state had previously noted that Ukrainian troops were deliberately targeting civilians and civilian objects in Russia. Putin described the methods used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces and their foreign mercenaries as terrorist.
