Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recently made statements regarding the use of US-made longer-range missiles in a strike inside Russia. While he did not confirm or deny the strike, he did mention that Ukraine possesses long-range capabilities in its arsenal.
According to sources, Ukraine targeted a Russian weapons arsenal using US-provided missiles, marking the first time such an action has been taken. Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine has its own long-range drones and Ukrainian cruise missiles like the 'Neptune,' in addition to the recently acquired ATACMS missiles.
During a news conference, Zelensky stated, 'Ukraine has long-range drones of its own production. We now have a long ‘Neptune’ and not just one. And now we have ATACMS. And we will use all of this.' This indicates Ukraine's readiness to utilize its full range of capabilities in defense.
The use of US-made missiles in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia underscores the evolving dynamics of the situation. Zelensky's remarks suggest that Ukraine is prepared to leverage its military assets to protect its interests and respond to threats effectively.
As the situation continues to develop, the international community will closely monitor the actions and statements from both Ukraine and Russia. The use of advanced weaponry in the conflict raises concerns about escalation and the potential impact on regional stability.
While Zelensky did not provide specific details about the strike inside Russia, his acknowledgment of Ukraine's long-range capabilities highlights the country's determination to defend itself against external aggression.
