Zelenskyy said Ukraine’s long-range strikes on Russia’s oil and gas facilities are altering public sentiment inside Russia, with more people increasingly wanting the war to end. He argued that disrupting Russian logistics reduces the money available to finance the war, pointing to stabilization in growth of salaries and contracts. Zelenskyy added that personnel funding appears to be falling in parts of Russia’s war machine. He said Russia will likely respond by either intensifying mobilization or moving toward dialogue after autumn elections.
