Ukraine disrupts St. Petersburg Forum with drone strikes. Is Vladimir Putin safe?
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that the Unmanned Systems Forces carried out a drone attack on an oil terminal in St. Petersburg. On the same day, an International Economic Forum was organised in the city, which Vladimir Putin was scheduled to attend.
Zelenskyy reported on the event on June 3 in a post on X: “Important facilities on Russian territory were hit last night. Among them was the Petersburg Oil Terminal. The distance from Ukraine’s state border to this facility of Russia’s oil industry, which serves the war, is about 1,100 kilometers. Purely military targets at the Kronstadt base were also hit. Another target was an enterprise in the Tambov region involved in the production of Russian weapons. The distance from the frontline is almost 600 kilometers.”

The President thanked the soldiers for completing the mission. He described the strike as “long-range sanctions” against Russia which are supposed to bring us closer to a lasting peace.
It should be noted that the Economic Forum was beginning concurrently with the attacks in St. Petersburg. Tomorrow, June 4, the President of the Russian Federation is scheduled to conduct its official opening. Following the successful attack in the region, it is uncertain whether the president will appear on-site in person.
