Zelenskyy: Russia no longer exports but imports petrol and that's our achievement

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Russia is importing petrol, calling it the rightful result of the work of the Security Service, the Armed Forces, intelligence and Ukrainian weapons manufacturers.

Quote: "Today, there were also reports on our entirely justified strikes against Russian targets – against their logistics and fuel infrastructure. I am grateful to our warriors for their precision. Russia chooses war, Russia destroys our people's lives, and must be held accountable – our long-range capabilities will increase.

Russia now imports petrol, and notably from across the map: from Asia – China and others – and from Europe, Belarus in particular. This is one of the consequences of Putin's war: the gas-station-country isn't selling fuel – it's buying it. These are the right results produced by the Security Service of Ukraine, our Armed Forces of Ukraine, our intelligence agencies, and our Ukrainian arms manufacturers."

Details: Zelenskyy added that Ukraine is preparing projects with partners on joint weapons production and new sanctions.

Quote: "We are preparing several new sanction decisions. This includes extensions of our expiring sanctions, and the introduction of new ones – particularly targeting companies and individuals working for the Russian defence industry. We will unify our sanctions with those of our partners, and the pressure on Russia will only grow."
