Quote: "Today, I also held a detailed meeting with Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi and Chief of the General Staff Andrii Hnatov. I approved our new long-range operations – this is what is needed to make Russia feel that it will have to pay for the war with its own losses.

Russia's oil industry will continue to be reduced if Russia chooses war. We are also seeing signs that Russia's political leadership is seeking ways to compensate for losses on the front – their occupation force has been reduced."

Details: Zelenskyy went on to clarify this by noting that Russia is sending out so-called mobilisation orders and summoning people to so-called military training exercises in order to continue what is effectively a covert mobilisation campaign on a larger scale.
