Zelenskyy posts Russian Gen Staff files

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on April 28 that Ukrainian intelligence obtained Russian General Staff documents showing Russia preparing new offensives and broader mobilization. (pravda.com.ua) Zelenskyy said the material came from a briefing by Oleh Ivashchenko, the head of Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence, and that the documents describe tasks the Russian military has failed to complete. (pravda.com.ua) (unn.ua) He also said the papers point to plans to draw in more personnel and prepare possible actions against North Atlantic Treaty Organization countries. (censor.net) (glavnoe.in.ua) In the same statement, Zelenskyy said Ukraine’s forces are “ensuring the destruction” of Russia’s offensive potential and put Russian irrecoverable losses at about 60% of total losses. (pravda.com.ua) (unn.ua) The disclosure lands as Kyiv keeps arguing that the war is not confined to Ukraine and that Russia is rebuilding manpower and planning beyond the current front. (kyivindependent.com) (defensenews.com) Zelenskyy made a similar warning in February, saying Russia was forming new divisions and could deploy 100,000 to 150,000 troops in Belarus, with Poland and the Baltic states seen as possible pressure points. (kyivindependent.com) (news.liga.net) Dutch military intelligence said last week that Russia could be able to mount a regional challenge to NATO within a year after fighting in Ukraine stops, under favorable conditions for Moscow. (defensenews.com) NATO says allies have provided Ukraine with billions of euros in military aid since 2022 and frames that support as part of Ukraine’s right to self-defense against Russia’s invasion. (nato.int) Russia did not immediately comment in the reports cited on Zelenskyy’s account of the documents, and the files themselves were not independently released in full in the sources reviewed. (pravda.com.ua) (unn.ua) For now, the story rests on Zelenskyy’s description: alleged Russian General Staff papers that Kyiv says show both battlefield shortfalls and planning for the next phase.
