❗️Ukraine no longer needs permission from its partners to conduct long-range strikes on Russian territory.
Foreign Minister Sybiha stated that Ukraine will continue asymmetric operations using its own weapons — this is its legitimate right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter, and such actions no longer require the consent of third parties.

‼️‼️🇺🇦🇷🇺 BIG | Ukraine’s drone forces just unleashed absolute hell in the Sea of Azov, devastating the Kremlin’s "shadow fleet" in a massive overnight raid that has left occupied Crimea’s military logistics completely choked.
Pilots from the "Kairos Group" of the 414th Separate Strike Regiment ("Madyar's Birds") executed a brilliant, large-scale air-sea operation, hunting down and setting ablaze **8 sanctioned Russian fuel tankers** simultaneously. The high-stakes raid also knocked out a cargo ship and a ferry, all critical vessels used by Moscow to smuggle fuel to its occupying forces in Crimea. In tandem with the maritime slaughter, Ukrainian operators wiped out **58 military targets** across occupied territories and triggered a widespread blackout across the Crimean power grid.
This is a masterclass in modern asymmetric warfare, proving that Russia's sanctions-busting fleet is entirely defenseless against Ukraine's aerial supremacy. By turning an entire fleet of 140-meter fuel vessels into burning hulls in a single night, the Unmanned Systems Forces are systematically starving Putin’s war machine of the fuel it needs to operate, proving that Moscow will fall and Crimea will be liberated.
