Zelenskyy: Ukraine strikes cost Russia $2.3bn in March

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has claimed that Ukraine's long-range strikes cost Russia at least $2.3 billion in lost oil revenue in March 2026 alone. He framed the ongoing attacks on Russian energy infrastructure as "long-range sanctions" for the war. Zelenskyy specifically named the 1st SBS Centre, 98th Recon Centre, 19th Missile Brigade, and 360th Coastal Brigade as targets of these operations. The statement highlights the strategic economic impact Ukraine aims to inflict alongside its military campaign.
