Ukraine’s military intelligence agency (HUR) on Wednesday released footage showing what it described as a sustained campaign against Russian military logistics, targeting fuel, ammunition, vehicles and other supplies destined for Moscow’s forces in occupied territories.

The newly published video showcases operations conducted by HUR’s Prymary (“Ghosts”) special unit during April and May 2026. According to the agency, the strikes focused on key transportation and supply routes used to sustain Russian combat operations.

HUR said the attacks resulted in the destruction of fuel stocks, ammunition and military equipment before they could reach frontline units. The agency claimed the operations blocked supply routes, slowed the deployment of reserves and reduced the operational capabilities of Russian occupation forces.

“The enemy may change routes, disperse resources and attempt to conceal movements, but the Prymary continue to identify critical links and deliver precise strikes,” HUR said in a statement accompanying the footage.

HUR did not specify the locations of the latest attacks or provide independent assessments of the damage shown in the footage.

Attacks target Russia’s refining sector

Ukraine has continued hitting Russia’s oil industry in 2026, an operation Kyiv describes as “long-range sanctions” designed to undermine Moscow’s ability to finance its war against Ukraine.

Russia Issues 1,100+ ‘Traditional Values’ Visas in 2025 as Kremlin Expands Anti-Western Push

Russia granted over 1,100 visas in 2025 to foreigners claiming support for “traditional values,” officials said. Germans, French and Americans topped the list. The Kremlin-backed scheme, tied to President Putin’s anti-Western rhetoric, offers residency to those rejecting what Moscow calls “liberal” social norms.

Earlier on Tuesday, Ukraine’s long-range drone campaign struck an oil depot in Russia’s Krasnodar region and targeted Moscow’s largest oil refinery.

According to the operational headquarters of Russia’s Krasnodar region, falling debris from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) caused a fire at an oil depot in the village of Poltavskaya in the Krasnoarmeysky district.

The same day, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin also reported a drone strike, saying that 35 drones flying toward the capital had been shot down within two hours.

On Friday, drones reportedly targeted the Taneco refinery – one of Russia’s largest – and the TAIF-NK refinery in Nizhnekamsk, both key assets in the country’s refining sector.

On Saturday, Ukraine hit the largest hydrocarbon transshipment complex in southern Russia, knocking out vital fuel infrastructure and air defense systems protecting it.

Nationwide fuel crisis hits Russia

Rosneft reportedly capped purchases at 90 liters (24 gallons) per vehicle or container, while Lukoil limited sales to 100 liters (26 gallons) per transaction.

An extensive fuel shortage was also reported across occupied Crimea after Kyiv stepped up attacks to cut off Russian logistics supplying the peninsula.

Andriy Kovalenko, head of Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation, stated that not only is the Kremlin responsible for the fallout, but also the Russian people who kept Russian leader Vladimir Putin in power. Kovalenko wrote:

The result of Putin’s reckless venture is a disgrace to Russia and a personal disgrace to him. For every Russian, it also means a deterioration in their quality of life starting today, and rightly so. Because Russians are responsible for the war and for keeping Putin in power in Russia.”
