Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a statement regarding Russia’s military activities and the economic resources supporting them.

Sharing last week’s attack data, Zelensky said, "Russia launched approximately 1,550 attack drones, more than 1,260 guided aerial bombs, and two missiles against Ukraine. In the same week, due to the easing of sanctions, Russia increased crude oil sales to finance its war."

Stating that economic revenues enable the continuation of the war, Zelensky said, "These revenues give Russia a sense of impunity and the ability to continue the war. Therefore, pressure must continue and sanctions must work. Russia’s shadow fleet should not feel safe in European waters or anywhere else."

Emphasizing the importance of logistical restrictions, Zelensky added, "Tankers serving the war budget must be stopped and blocked, not simply allowed to pass. I thank every leader who makes such decisions. This brings a dignified peace closer."
