Key points of Volodymyr Zelenskyy from the briefing on sanctions against Russian companies
Key points from the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s briefing following the meeting on sanctions against russian oil companies
▫️ Since the beginning of the year, Ukraine has synchronized 11 sanction packages with partners.
▫️ US sanctions against russia will take effect from November 25 this year. As a result of these sanctions, russia will lose about 50 billion dollars next year.
▫️ Ukraine and the US will work to minimize the import of energy resources from russia.
▫️ It is important that Europeans, especially after US sanctions against “lukoil” and “rosneft,” do not work with the russian federation.
▫️ Sanctions may lead to a deficit in the russian state budget of up to 100 billion dollars.
▫️ Russia had the capability to launch three “oreshnik” missiles. One of the three “oreshniks” was successfully destroyed on their territory — in kapustin yar — by the efforts of the Main Intelligence Directorate, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the Foreign Intelligence Service.
▫️ russians want to deploy “oreshnik” in belarus. It has a range of 5,000 km and a dead zone of 700 km. European partners of Ukraine need to pay attention to this.
▫️ Ukraine has a list of 25 manufacturers involved in producing “oreshnik” who are not under sanctions. It will be handed over to partners for the introduction of new sanctions.
▫️ All of Ukraine’s long-range actions are a response. When russia strikes our infrastructure and civilians, we immediately open a drawer with our actions and respond.
▫️ The situation in Pokrovsk is difficult; the enemy has concentrated 170,000 people in this direction. As of this morning, there are no changes in Pokrovsk, and there is no blockade by Ukrainian forces.
▫️ Today, russians do not dominate the Pokrovsk direction.
