Ukraine's Zelenskiy: Clear signs of slowdown in Russia's defence industry

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Tuesday there were "clear signs of a slowdown" in Russia's defence industry and called for further action to eliminate loopholes in sanctions imposed on Moscow.

"There are clear signs of a slowdown in Russia's defence industry," Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address. "But for the results of sanctions to be 100 percent, sanctions loopholes must also be blocked 100 percent."

Zelenskiy provided no evidence for his assertion on the state of Russia's defence ministry.
