President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported on a meeting with the leadership of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the State Security Service, during which they discussed Ukraine’s next steps against Russia.
According to the head of state, one of the key issues was determining targets for new long-range strikes in response to Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities and villages.
“Ukraine will ensure that every strike that takes the lives of our people has consequences for the aggressor,” Zelenskyy stated.
He noted that Ukraine is striking the Russian oil industry, military production, as well as individuals involved in war crimes against Ukrainians.
The president thanked the military and all involved agencies for developing Ukraine’s long-range strike capabilities.
