'We understand all their weak points' — Zelensky 'satisfied' with Ukraine's '40-day campaign,' suggests more strikes on Russian logistics planned

President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed satisfaction with the outcome of a 40-day Ukrainian operation aimed at compelling Russia to end its war. The initiative, launched by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) in late June, targeted Russian logistics, resulting in significant damage to the Russian military machine. This included the destruction of dozens of Russian tankers supplying occupied Crimea and the destruction of multiple warehouses belonging to an online retailer, Wildberries.

Despite not achieving an end to the full-scale war, Zelensky claimed that Ukraine understood the extent of Russia's losses, estimating them to be around one trillion rubles ($12.2 billion). The president hinted at the continuation of strikes on Russian logistics, suggesting that this would force Russia to face the consequences of the war more directly, potentially impacting upcoming elections in September.

Zelensky also warned that Russia would feel the impact of the lack of logistics, which is already causing shortages of goods in the country. Amid the ongoing efforts, Russia has intensified its attacks on Ukrainian cities, leading to a shortage of air defense capabilities for Ukraine.
