Ukraine Warns of New Russian Offensive Amidst Significant Losses

Kyiv, Ukraine – President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has revealed critical intelligence indicating that Russia is gearing up for new offensive operations, a move that underscores the ongoing and escalating nature of the conflict. Despite suffering substantial losses on the front lines, Moscow appears undeterred, a fact confirmed by documents from the Russian General Staff obtained by Ukraine.

Documents of the General Staff of the Russian Federation show its inability to fulfill the objectives set by the political leadership of the Kremlin.

These documents, as highlighted by President Zelenskyy, expose the Kremlin's failure to achieve its stated objectives. This intelligence not only confirms Ukraine's strategic successes in degrading Russia's offensive capabilities but also serves as a stark warning to the international community. Ukraine's defense forces are actively thwarting Russian advances, inflicting irretrievable losses that, according to Zelenskyy, have reached approximately 60% of Russia's total deployed forces.

Ukraine's strategic imperative, as articulated by the President, is clear: to further increase the enemy's irretrievable losses, bolster the effective use of drones on the front, and intensify long-range sanctions against Russia's vital arms and oil industries. This multi-pronged approach aims to cripple Russia's war machine and economy.

Ukraine's task is to further increase the percentage of the occupier's irretrievable losses, strengthen the line of drone use on the front, and expand our long-range sanctions against the Russian arms industry and the oil sector.

Furthermore, President Zelenskyy intends to brief international partners on Moscow's alleged plans, which include potential operations against NATO member states and efforts to draw Belarus into Russia's military endeavors. This proactive communication highlights Ukraine's commitment to transparency and its role in maintaining regional security, emphasizing that the conflict's implications extend far beyond its borders. The intelligence regarding potential mobilization of tens of thousands of foreign nationals and migrants by Russia in 2026, as reported by Ukrainian military intelligence, adds another layer of concern, suggesting a desperate attempt by Moscow to sustain its war effort through unconventional recruitment.

Russia's General Staff and the federal service for citizenship and registration of foreigners have assessed the number of foreign citizens aged 18 to 60 years in all federal regions.
