Ukrainian military is carrying out powerful strikes on facilities important to Russia's military capabilities. This may be an attempt to prevent the occupiers from preparing for a new massive strike on Ukrainian territory.
It is known that on March 21, 2026, Ukrainian drones attacked the Saratov oil refinery. Roman Svitan, a reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, an instructor pilot and military expert, told Channel 24 that the Engels-2 airfield is located not far from this refinery.
What is known about a possible Russian attack on Ukraine?
Roman Svitan emphasized that the strikes on the Engels-2 airfield are very important for Ukraine, as recently the movement of enemy aircraft has been noticed there.
There is an impression that the Russians may launch a massive strike tonight,
– he remarked.
According to the reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ukraine's powerful attacks on Russian territory confirm that our military could thus be trying to stop the enemy's preparations for another missile attack.
He urged people to be as cautious as possible in the near future if airstrike reports appear.
All because the occupiers can prepare those bombers that remained intact after the attacks on our state.
Interesting. Ukrainian drones attacked another Russian oil refinery in Ufa. This happened on September 22, 2026. This refinery is located more than 1,200 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.
In addition, according to Roman Svitan, in the coming days the occupiers may launch offensive operations along the front line. This is likely due to the approaching May 9th, so that there would be something to report to Vladimir Putin by that date.
