Zelensky on the elimination of high-ranking Russian military officials: justice will inevitably catch up with the perpetrators
In his daily report to the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, the leaders of Ukrainian intelligence agencies announced significant gains in the fight against Russian aggression. According to sources within the Foreign Intelligence Service and the Security Service of Ukraine, the Russian military leadership has suffered losses: senior commanders of the Russian armed forces have been intentionally neutralized. The President emphasized these events in his Telegram channel and underscored the unreserved justice: "Reports from the leadership regarding the elimination of Russian military high-ranking officials are a triumph of justice. Justice inevitably comes." This is a clear message about Kyiv’s unwavering position on retribution for insults and crimes against the Ukrainian people. Ukrainian intelligence agencies are actively cooperating in this direction, and recent efforts have yielded tangible results. In addition to the elimination of individuals from Russia’s top command, officials are working to dismantle enemy agent networks and sabotage groups attempting to destabilize the situation in the country. The head of the Security Service briefed the President on measures aimed at curbing Moscow’s subversive activities on Ukrainian territory. The agency chief also announced that Ukraine is preparing new sanctions proposals and plans to submit them to the National Security and Defense Council to tighten repressive measures against Russian agents. Background: On April 25, a car explosion occurred in the town of Balashikha, near Moscow. As a result of the incident, Russian Defense Lieutenant General Yaroslav Moskalik was killed — a high-ranking military officer and one of the leading figures in organizing Russian operations in Ukraine. Sources claim that this administrative structure is linked to planning Russia’s key military actions in Ukrainian territory. Another sign of tension was the information published on April 26 by the Federal Security Service of Russia (FSB). The statement reports the detention of Ukrainian agent Ignat Kuzin, suspected of involvement in Moskalik’s murder and other sabotage activities. According to Russian security agencies, the detention was reportedly the result of operational measures taken to establish contacts and apprehend suspects in the Tyumen region, which has become a link in the chain of Russian operations responding to Ukrainian anti-occupier actions. Thus, the situation in Ukraine remains tense, but Ukrainian services demonstrate the capacity and resolve to combat deeply rooted structures of enemy intelligence and Russian military command. Authorities promise to continue increasing sanctions pressure and employing all available means to ensure the security of the Ukrainian people and restore justice. On the same day, Zelensky confirmed that mechanisms for a responsible response to aggression are functioning, and soon the Ukrainian parliament may approve new sanctions packages aimed at stopping and neutralizing enemy agents and their networks within the country. Therefore, Ukrainian authorities show their resilience and confidence that divine justice and fairness will inevitably reach everyone who attempts to destroy peace and security for the Ukrainian people.
