Putin talks a big game, even as Ukraine destroys major oil terminal
Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed Ukraine couldn’t stop his military — even as Kyiv’s special forces struck deep inside the motherland igniting massive fires at a major oil terminal Saturday.
Putin insisted Kyiv, who’s been using longer-range drones to batter military and energy infrastructure deep in the heart of Russia in recent months, was turning to “terrorist methods.”
“The enemy is unable to contain this onslaught and is openly resorting to terrorist methods,” Putin said, speaking at a meeting televised live from the Kremlin Saturday.
“Our troops maintain a strategic advantage, confidently advancing, and no amount of shelling or drone strikes will change this situation,” he claimed.
The strongman’s spin came hours after Kyiv hit the Tamanneftegaz oil and gas terminal, a major export hub on the Black Sea, in Russia’s Krasnodar Krai region.
