The Russian Defence Ministry has noted a statement by V. Zelenskiy that the Kiev regime will intensify strikes against Russian oil refineries in response to attacks on Ukraine's defence industry facilities in Kiev, where UAVs and missiles are produced for attacks on Russia, as well as on infrastructure facilities used in the interests of the AFU.

In response to these threats, the Russian Defence Ministry recalls that the massive strikes are launched against Kiev and other Ukrainian regions specifically in retaliation for the actions of the Kiev regime's leader.

This refers to V. Zelenskiy’s attempts to disrupt the voting in the elections to the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation by launching terrorist strikes against civilian targets on the territory of Russia. The attacks were launched by targeting missile weapons and UAVs against district electoral commissions, which resulted in the death of six civilians.

This refers to attempts to organise a mass attack using more than 1,600 Ukrainian strike UAVs on 19–20 September against civilian targets in Moscow.

It regards to attempted terrorist strikes involving strike UAVs aimed at disrupting the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum in June 2026.

Finally, last night, the Kiev regime inflicted a deliberate terrorist attack on residential quarters of Belgorod, where there are no military facilities.

As a result of this strike, there are casualties and fatalities among civilians, and damage has been caused to apartment buildings, private homes, and personal vehicles.

Following today’s statement by Zelenskiy, strikes by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation against military and defence industry facilities, as well as their related infrastructure in Kiev and other regions of Ukraine, will be intensified.

The population of Ukraine has only the leader of the Kiev regime to blame for this.

It is Zelenskiy who bears full personal and political responsibility for this.
