Ukrainian drones hit the Taman oil terminal in the Krasnodar region of southern Russia and a chemical plant in the Perm region near the Ural Mountains, the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) announced today. Kyiv has intensified long-range attacks on strategic targets in Russia, particularly oil facilities. The SBU carried out a second attack on the Taman terminal since January 22nd. The drones also attacked the Metafrax Chemicals plant, one of the largest methanol production facilities in Russia and Europe. The attacks took place ahead of a new round of US-mediated talks between Ukraine and Russia in Geneva, which are not expected to yield significant results.
