The St. Petersburg oil terminal confirmed that it was the target of a Ukrainian UAV attack

Co-owner of the Petersburg Oil Terminal JSC Mikhail Skigin, in a commentary to Kommersant, expressed gratitude to the Russian Ministry of Defense and President Vladimir Putin for the work of the air defense in intercepting the drone of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. According to him, the system worked “lightning fast.”

“This made it possible to prevent a monstrous catastrophe, which could have resulted in dire consequences, human casualties, and gigantic environmental damage to the Baltic. Once again I express my gratitude to the armed forces of our country, their leadership, this is a brilliant job,” Mr. Skigin assessed the possible consequences.

The wreckage of a drone intercepted over the Leningrad region on the night of January 18 was found on the territory of an oil terminal in St. Petersburg. Presumably this was his goal.
