Strikes against enemy targets have reached a new level in three components.

Due to "long-range sanctions" Russia has lost at least 7 billion dollars since the beginning of 2026. This was announced by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.

- According to the most modest estimates, the aggressor state has lost since the beginning of the year at least 7 billion dollars only directly from our exact sanctions against the Russian oil industry and refining: from hits, downtime, delays in shipments," he said.

The Ukrainian president noted that by the end of April, Ukraine's "long-range sanctions" reached a new level in three components: reduction of the aggressor country's oil profits, distance and intensity of sanctions.

"It is important that not only the object itself is achieved, as defined by the combat task, but also the downtime of the object is increased or at least a tangible reduction in its operation," the Ukrainian head of state said in a statement.

Zelensky announced the scaling of the direction of Ukraine's long-range systems, and added that solutions are already being prepared.
