President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky<\/strong> reported<\/a> that the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine<\/strong> has received new internal Russian documents assessing Russia’s losses due to the war and sanctions pressure.<\/p>\n

According to the head of state, this is internal analytics from Russia itself, which the Kremlin is trying to hide both from the international community and from its own population.<\/p>\n

One of the main indicators of the problems the president named was the situation in the oil sector. According to the documents, a single Russian oil company has already been forced to close about 400<\/strong> oil wells.<\/p>\n

Separately, the documents describe problems in Russia’s banking system. According to the figures cited by the president, 11 financial institutions<\/strong> are already preparing for complete liquidation, and another 8 banks<\/strong> have accumulated critical problems that cannot be resolved without external financing.<\/p>\n

In addition, the Russian budget deficit, according to the president, has reached nearly 80 billion dollars<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Also, Volodymyr Zelensky instructed the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service Oleh Luhovskyi<\/strong> to publish information about Russia’s attempts to circumvent international sanctions through cooperation with foreign companies.<\/p>\n
