Zelensky disputes Western reports on Russian oil revenue

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has publicly disputed recent Western media reports on the state of Russia's oil economy. He stated that these reports, which claim Russia's revenues from oil production and sales are increasing, contradict the assessments of Ukrainian intelligence. Zelensky argued that despite Ukrainian attacks on Russian ports, total exports have risen and damaged terminals have already resumed fuel shipments for export. This public statement highlights a divergence in the public narratives between Kyiv and its Western allies regarding the effectiveness of economic pressure on Russia.
