During the week, the military of the aggressor country russia launched more than 2,360 attack drones, more than 1,320 KABs and 80 missiles of various types at Ukraine. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced this on his Telegram channel.

"The continued easing of sanctions against Russia does not correspond to the real situation in the war and diplomacy and fuels the illusion of the Russian leadership that the war can be continued. This week alone, the Russians have launched more than 2,360 attack drones, more than 1,320 guided aerial bombs and nearly 60 missiles of various types at our cities and communities. Every dollar for oil from Russia is money for war," he wrote.

The President added that more than 110 tankers of moscow's shadow fleet are now at sea.

"They have more than 12 million tons of Russian oil on board, which, thanks to the easing of sanctions, can again be sold without consequences. This is USD 10 billion - a resource that is directly converted into new strikes on Ukraine," Zelenskyy emphasized.

He emphasized that it is important that russian tankers stop delivering oil to ports.

"We need to reduce the aggressor's oil exports, and Ukrainian long-range sanctions continue to work for this. I am grateful to each of our soldiers for their accuracy and thank all partners who help to increase pressure on Russia for this war," the President summed up.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, the day before the United States lifted sanctions restrictions on the purchase of russian oil and oil products for 30 days, transported by sea, despite previous public assurances not to renew the relevant licenses.

Ukraine's Ambassador to the United States Olha Stefanishyna called on the United States Administration to reinstate sanctions against russian oil and oil products.
