Russia has enough resources to continue its war against Ukraine for another two years, through 2027 and 2028, despite the weakening of its economy, Ukraine’s military intelligence chief said.

Oleg Ivashchenko said joint efforts with Ukraine’s partners are needed to deprive Russia of those resources. In an interview with the Ukrinform news agency, he argued that sanctions must become genuinely effective.

“We know which countries supply Russia with electronic components, machine tools and specialty chemicals,” Ivashchenko said. He added that many companies are emerging that make seals and export products to Russia, where they help drive its war machine against Ukraine.

Sanctions should really be effective. We know which countries supply Russia with electronic components, machine tools and specialty chemicals.
