President Zelenskyy: US and EU sanctions show tangible impact on Russian oil firms

“The Russians are already considering how to sell off their enterprises, particularly in Europe, as these will no longer be able to operate,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a traditional address to the Ukrainian nation on Oct. 30.

Fellow Ukrainians!

Today, our energy workers have been working throughout the day – from Zaporizhzhia and the Mykolaiv region to the Ivano-Frankivsk and Vinnytsia regions – following the Russian strike. Unfortunately, there were hits, and the target was the energy infrastructure. We are doing everything possible to restore it and are adding reserves. I want to thank every repair crew, all utility services involved, energy companies, and the State Emergency Service of Ukraine – this is truly a nationwide effort. Everywhere the Russians have destroyed, Ukrainians are rebuilding. It is important that every community devote maximum attention and resources to this. The strike was complex – a combined, deliberately calculated one, designed to make it difficult to counter. There were missiles as well, including ballistic and air-launched ballistic types. In total, 52 missiles and more than six hundred strike drones were launched, around four hundred of them “shaheds.” Most of the drones were neutralized, and two-thirds of the missiles were also shot down. Ukraine’s air defense is saving a significant part of our infrastructure, and this remains the top priority – air defense systems and missiles for them. We are working on this every day.
