Military Intelligence Says Russia's Selective Exports Plummet 80% in One Month

Russia's Export Slump and the Toll of Strikes on Military Sites

According to Зеленський: The latest intelligence briefing out of Kyiv outlines the accumulating toll of Ukrainian strikes on Russia's military and industrial sectors. According to Oleh Ivashchenko, head of Ukraine's military intelligence agency (HUR), several export categories tracked in Russian internal documents recorded an 80% collapse over the past month, pointing to severe strain in the aggressor country's economy. He also said Russian Black Sea Fleet ships remain blocked in Novorossiysk after drone attacks, leaving them unable to carry out maritime operations.

Ivashchenko’s report noted that Moscow is considering putting small arms, electronic warfare devices, and military personnel on civilian vessels. Such a step would indicate that Russia is determined to keep pursuing hostilities despite the growing logistical and economic problems it now faces.

Industrial Losses and Broader Repercussions

Strikes on the Kamensky Combine plant in the Rostov region have stripped Russia of a significant share of its ability to manufacture solid-propellant engines for rockets. Ivashchenko added that intelligence has updated findings on Russia's ballistic missile output and its intentions to expand that production.

“Without foreign components, the Russians cannot carry out any part of their missile program,” said Oleh Ivashchenko.

HUR also confirmed that one of Russia's largest oil refineries, located in Kstovo in the Nizhny Novgorod region and processing 17 million tons per year, has halted operations, along with other refining facilities. Ivashchenko emphasized the effectiveness of diplomatic and military actions that are now hitting Russian weapons plants and oil infrastructure:

“I thank our warriors for their precision. Glory to Ukraine!” - Oleh Ivashchenko.

The report also outlined planned next steps, including:

• preparing measures to counter Russia's militarization of commercial shipping,
• continuing long-range strike operations,
• and enforcing sanctions to block missile-related component supplies.

These moves underscore Kyiv's intensified push to repel Russian aggression and preserve its territorial integrity.

The record-scale fall in Russian exports highlights the deep economic troubles affecting the country, especially amid its ongoing war effort. Damage to strategic facilities such as refineries and missile factories could sharply reduce the Kremlin's military capabilities, which also underscores how vital international backing for Ukraine remains.
