Zelenskyy: 'A report from Chief of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine Oleh Ivashchenko. Our military intelligence has established that, according to internal Russian documents, certain categories of exports from the aggressor state have already fallen by 80% this month alone. These are significant losses for Russia’s federal budget, as well as for regional budgets that were already on the verge of bankruptcy as it was. The Russian side acknowledges that the ships of its Black Sea fleet are basically blocked in Novorossiysk as a result of our drone strikes and are unable to operate at sea. The Russian leadership cannot find a way out of this situation. Since the Russian fleet is unable to convoy commercial vessels and the shadow fleet entering the relevant ports, among the solutions considered are equipping civilian vessels with small arms, electronic warfare systems, and military personnel. We will prepare appropriate response measures to Russia’s militarization of shipping. '
