On October 10, 2026, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky commented on the situation regarding Russia's permission to sell oil products, noting that this could have serious consequences for Ukraine's security. According to him, this decision reflects the true intentions of the Kremlin, which may pose a threat to Ukraine.
Consequences of the Permission to Sell Oil Products
Zelensky emphasized that Russia's permission to sell oil products could lead to increased funding for military actions. The money obtained from sales could be used to purchase weapons, which in turn threatens Ukraine's security. The president highlighted that:
- Russia may direct the earned funds towards new strikes against Ukraine.
- This decision demonstrates that international signals to limit Russia's military actions are insufficient.
- It is necessary to strengthen sanctions and other measures to limit the Kremlin's capabilities.
Attacks on Kyiv and the Response
According to the president, part of the ballistic missiles launched at Kyiv's energy facilities were intercepted. This indicates that the threat remains high, and Ukraine must be prepared for new attacks. Zelensky noted that:
- Kyiv was one of the cities where the consequences of this decision were most acutely felt.
- Yesterday, the United States sent a signal to Russia that attacks could continue.
Call to the International Community
The president called on the international community to take more decisive actions that would limit Russia's ability to wage war. He emphasized that Ukraine needs not only words of support but also concrete actions that would help stop aggression. Zelensky stressed the importance of unity in the fight against Russian aggression.
