Zelensky emphasized that the war of Ukraine against the cynical enemy is ongoing and most importantly, which could change the course of fighting, is a modern long -range weapon or that will fit the characteristics of Russian armament. "If you have a suitable weapon and you can answer the Russian army that uses long -range weapons in your civilian cities. For example, Kherson, they stand on the other bank We have up to 20 km of artillery projectile.
If you have a long -range weapon, you can knock them on, "the head of the state said. Zelensky cited an example that Ukraine was able to knock the Russian fleet out of Ukrainian territorial waters from Ukrainian territorial waters, only the Russian Federation began to lose their ships, many of these ships went to Russian territorial waters. Earlier, the President has already said that the Ukrainian army needs a long -range weapon.
Thanks to it, the forces of defense will not only be able to release Ukrainian territories from the invaders, but also successfully perform defensive actions, maintaining a distance from the enemy, says Zelensky. "Without a long -range weapon, it is difficult not only to perform an offensive mission - it is also difficult to carry out a defensive operation. This indicates that you will protect your land and cannot reach the appropriate distance to destroy your enemy.
That is, the enemy has a remote advantage," the Head of State explained . Earlier, Britain and France provided Ukraine Storm Shadow and Scalp. It is also known that the United States has handed over to 165 kilometers, the US missiles have been transferred to our soldiers - these are ATACMS long -range missiles. Discussions are currently underway to transfer to Ukraine Taurus German missiles, which are able to destroy targets up to 500 kilometers.
Berlin is still opposed, but Ukraine and allies are calling on German Chancellor Olaf Scholtz to make a corresponding decision. However, German Chancellor noted that German soldiers need to be involved in the operation of such weapons. After all, they say, it is impossible to create a system of weapons that will have very wide coverage and then not think about how it can be controlled.
However, military expert Petro Chernik noted that several types of long -range missiles can change the course of war. It is about 1. 5 thousand weapons in a mixed cycle - Taurus, Storm Shadow and ATACMS. We will remind, in this interview of the Italian TV channel Volodymyr Zelenskyy told about the attack of the Russian Federation on Odessa during the visit of the Prime Minister of Greece. According to him, he does not know who was struck by a ballistic missile. The siren sounded for a short time.
