The Ukrainian Armed Forces are striking targets at a distance of over 1,500 kilometers, — Zelenskyy
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukrainian long-range weapons are already capable of striking targets at distances exceeding 1,500 kilometers, and that Ukraine plans to extend these ranges in the future.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced this on Telegram following a report by Major General Yevhen Khmara on a new phase in the use of Ukrainian weapons aimed at limiting Russia’s war capabilities.
“Major General Yevhen Khmara’s report on our long-range strikes—a new phase in the use of Ukrainian weapons to limit Russia’s war potential. I am grateful to the guys from the Security Service of Ukraine for their accuracy. The straight-line distance is over 1,500 kilometers. We will increase these ranges, and these are entirely justified Ukrainian responses to Russian terror,” Zelenskyy noted.
The President emphasized that every strike reduces the capabilities of the Russian military-industrial complex, logistics, and oil exports.
“The results are obvious to everyone. It is also obvious to everyone that the Russian Federation must end its war. It is time to turn to diplomacy, and Moscow needs to hear this signal,” he added.
