Zelenskyi: Ukrainian attacks could reduce gasoline supplies in Russia by up to 20%

According to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil infrastructure could lead to a decline in gasoline supplies in Russia of up to 20 percent. He emphasized that the attacks are ongoing and their effects will be felt in the long term.

Kyiv used domestic Neptune and Flamingo missiles in the operations, which is intended to support the development of its own arms industry. However, the Kremlin stated that the domestic fuel market was sufficiently supplied.

At the same time, Zelensky pointed out that Russia had carried out up to 1,550 attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure last month, but only 160 of them had been successful.

Zelensky also noted that Moscow was focusing on capturing Pokrovsk, but had failed to convince US President Donald Trump of its ability to bring the entire Donbas under control. In this context, he stated that there was currently no common view between the US and Russia on the war and that Washington understood that Moscow was lying.

Ukrainian representatives will soon travel to the US to negotiate defense and sanctions.
