The most effective sanctions that work the fastest are strikes on the Russian oil industry, which significantly limits the war.
As Ukrinform reports, the head of state emphasized this in his evening address.
Today I want to especially thank all our soldiers who are inflicting really significant losses on Russia. Losses on the front. Losses in the border area. Losses on Russia's own territory due to our long-range strikes. The most effective sanctions - the sanctions that act the fastest - are fire on Russian oil plants, their terminals, oil depots. The Russian oil industry has been significantly restricted, and this significantly limits the war, - the head of state noted.
According to him, the Russian war is actually a function of oil, a function of gas and all other Russian energy resources.
The President also thanked the special forces of the Security Service of Ukraine, who recently performed a very high-quality operation at Russia's largest oil terminal on the Baltic Sea in Primorsk. There is significant damage, everything has been checked. And this is noticeable to the enemy, he added.
In addition, as Zelensky noted, special forces keep an eye on the port of Ust-Luga and all other Russian points of entry into the world market. Currently, SBU drones are capable of operating at a distance of over 1,000 kilometers.
The Special Operations Forces, the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Foreign Intelligence Service, and the State Security Service are also working. Thank you all for your accuracy. When there is a result, we celebrate the result, - the President emphasized.
As Ukrinform reported, on the night of September 12, SBU drones struck the largest Russian oil loading port of Primorsk on the Baltic Sea, which is the final destination of the Baltic pipeline system.
