President Volodymyr Zelenskiy praised Ukraine's foreign intelligence service on Monday for the "liquidation" of top Russian military figures over the more than three years since the full-scale invasion by Russia.



Zelenskiy's remarks, on the Telegram messaging app, made no reference to any specific instance, but appeared to be an oblique reference to the killing outside Moscow last week of a senior Russian military officer, Yaroslav Moskalik.



"The head of Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence reported on the liquidation of persons from the top command of the Russian armed forces. Justice inevitably is done," Zelenskiy said, referring to the agency's head, Oleg Ivashchenko.



"The head reported on further measures to counter Russian agent networks in Ukraine and saboteurs. Good results. Thank you for your work," the president said.
