The SBU intelligence service also reported to Selensky. The Russian war should not benefit from the geopolitical situation and such crisis oil prices, said the Ukrainian president. He thanked the soldiers for their "accuracy" in attacks on the Russian oil industry, which is important for Moscow's war chest. Selensky also spoke of the SBU's good results on the front line and in taking action against Russian spy networks.

Also citing intelligence information, Zelensky warned the Ukrainians that Russia could be planning a serious attack. Moscow has been waging a destructive war of aggression against the neighboring country for more than four years.
