Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has made a strong statement in response to US President Joe Biden's decision to grant Ukraine permission to strike targets deep in Russia with American-made weapons. Zelensky, in his first comments after the permission was granted, emphasized that actions speak louder than words.
Referring to the media speculation surrounding the permission, Zelensky stated, 'But strikes are not carried out with words. Such things are not announced. Missiles will speak for themselves. They certainly will.' This cryptic message underscores the seriousness of the situation.
Zelensky highlighted the importance of enhancing Ukraine's military capabilities, stating that 'long-range capabilities for our army' are crucial components of his 'Victory Plan' for winning the war. This indicates a strategic shift in Ukraine's approach to the conflict.
Addressing the recent Russian attacks on Ukraine, Zelensky described Sunday's strikes as 'one of the largest and most dangerous' in the entire war. He claimed that most of the targets had been intercepted, with Russia targeting energy and critical infrastructure. The impact of these attacks has left over a million households without electricity, prompting urgent restoration efforts in multiple regions.
Zelensky's firm stance and commitment to defending Ukraine's interests reflect the gravity of the situation and the escalating tensions in the region. As the conflict continues to unfold, the international community closely watches the developments and the implications of these latest developments on the ongoing crisis.
