Ukraine’s long-range strikes inflicted billions of dollars in Russian oil revenue losses in March, Zelensky says

(Dmytro Basmat – The Kyiv Independent) Ukrainian estimates show that long-range strikes on Russian oil infrastructure inflicted at least $2.3 billion in lost oil revenue for Russia in March alone, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on April 19. “I am grateful to all our warriors for their precision,” Zelensky said in his evening address. “We will continue this work in April,” Zelensky said just one day after Ukraine’s military struck another four oil industry facilities overnight on April 18. Ukraine has increased strikes on Russian oil infrastructure in recent months, as it aims to reduce the Kremlin’s most important revenue source — given a boost by the skyrocketing oil prices that have followed the war in Iran. – Ukraine’s long-range strikes inflicted billions of dollars in Russian oil revenue losses in March, Zelensky says
