Zelensky said more than 110 tankers carrying 12 million tonnes of crude could again be sold without consequences.
- On Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the United States' decision to extend a sanctions waiver allowing Russian oil sales. President Donald Trump's administration issued the month-long extension on Friday to soften energy prices amid the Middle East war.
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated just two days prior that Washington would not renew the waiver, making the Treasury Department's extension a reversal of earlier pledges to avoid granting further sanctions relief for Russia.
- Zelenskyy reported more than 110 tankers carry more than 12 million tonnes of Russian crude currently at sea. "That is $10 billion — a resource that is directly converted into new strikes against Ukraine," Zelensky said, quantifying the financial stakes.
- In the past week, Russia launched more than 2,360 attack drones and more than 1,320 guided aerial bombs against Ukrainian cities. Zelenskyy added, "And nearly 60 missiles of various types at our cities and communities," documenting the escalating assault.
- Zelenskyy urged international authorities to stop Russian tankers from delivering oil to ports, arguing that sanctions must continue reducing the aggressor's exports. "Every dollar paid for Russian oil is money for the war," Zelenskyy said, linking energy revenue directly to military strikes.
