The report states that the movement's agents continue to carry out reconnaissance of these key targets. They record the exact coordinates and types of protective structures, and assess the level of protection for each target. The data enable planning of further precision strikes.

"Every new attempt by the russian federation to fortify its facilities only delays the inevitable. We will continue to paralyze the occupier's fuel infrastructure, complicating the enemy's logistics in all directions," the statement reads.
The Defense Forces of Ukraine are successfully attacking russian oil depots and refineries. During August, Ukraine successfully targeted the following refineries:
- Ryazan Refinery
- Novokuybyshev Refinery
- Afipsky Refinery
- Saratov Refinery
- Volgograd Refinery
- Syzran Refinery
