Citing weeks of intensified Russian airstrikes on Ukraine’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, President Zelensky called for more anti-aircraft defense systems from the West and permission to strike targets deep inside Russian territory. – President Zelensky, quoted by the German agency dpa, said that the Russian air forces must be destroyed in their places by all possible effective means.
Volodymyr Zelensky: We need long-range weapons
According to President Zelensky, the West’s recent lifting of the ban on firing along the Russian border using weapons supplied to Ukraine has already yielded results. – A part of Russia’s terrorist capability has been destroyed, but only a part. We must protect Ukrainians better. This requires long-range weapons. Negotiations on the matter are ongoing, President Zelensky stressed, adding that he expects progress on the issue in the coming weeks.
The President of Ukraine also noted that progress has been made in negotiations on Ukraine’s membership in the European Union. Last Friday, the EU approved the start of accession talks with Ukraine and Moldova on June 25.
