“[N]ow it is especially telling that all 100% of the long-range sanctions on Moscow and other Russian regions are applied with… Ukrainian-made weapons. Russian propaganda will have a hard time fitting this into their lies.” ~ Andrii Sybiha, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine 🇺🇦💙💛🇺🇦

“Ukraine is not just hitting Russia. It is doing so with Ukrainian weapons.

Putin’s propaganda has always told the Russian people that they are fighting the entire “collective West”, not just Ukraine.

This was meant to hide Putin’s humiliation and explain why this war lasts longer than WWI. A war against a country he said did not exist and was meant to collapse years ago.

But now it is especially telling that all 100% of the long-range sanctions on Moscow and other Russian regions are applied with… Ukrainian-made weapons.

Russian propaganda will have a hard time fitting this into their lies.

Putin did not just miscalculate when he attacked Ukraine. He made a historic mistake. With every month of him refusing to accept it and end this war, things will only get worse for him and his regime.

At any moment of time, Putin has the way out. He just needs to order his occupation forces to cease fire and stop the war”.

“Ukraine’s long-range sanctions continue to undermine the effectiveness of the Russian oil sector that finances its war of aggression.” ~ @mfa_ukraine 🇺🇦👏💙💛🙏🇺🇦

#Repost @mfa_ukraine with @use.repost_ . . . The results from April show that Ukraine’s long-range sanctions have intensified across three key directions: reducing Russian oil revenues, expanding operational range, and increasing strike intensity. This directly weakens Russia’s ability to finance its brutal war against Ukraine.

Since the beginning of the year, Ukraine’s long-range strikes have not only targeted Russian oil facilities directly, but have also caused prolonged shutdowns and delays in repairs and shipments. As a result, significant parts of Russia’s oil infrastructure have been forced to halt or reduce operations for extended periods.

Due to this sustained pressure, Russia’s oil industry and refining sector have already lost at least $7 billion since the start of the year. Ukraine’s long-range sanctions continue to undermine the effectiveness of the Russian oil sector that finances its war of aggression.
