All gathered data has already been transferred to Ukraine’s Defense Forces.

This was reported by Atesh on Telegram.

"Ukrainian forces are highly interested in the destruction of this facility. Previously, successful strikes on Russian fuel infrastructure were recorded in the Smolensk region – in April 2024, an oil depot in Rozdorove was hit, and on December 31, another oil depot in Yartsevo was struck. Now, it is time for another key logistical hub of the occupiers," the partisan movement stated.

They added that the elimination of such facilities would deal a serious blow to the supply of Russian troops in the border regions – Belgorod, Voronezh, and Bryansk.

"This will have an especially critical impact on the Kursk region, where fierce battles are currently taking place," Atesh emphasized.

  • Earlier, partisans created a detailed map of a Russian National Guard military unit in Smolensk.
  • Additionally, members of the Atesh movement reconnoitered the location of the 144th Motorized Rifle Division of the Russian Armed Forces in the Smolensk region.
