Ukraine seeks to destroy Russian logistics with long-range weapons strikes, Vladimir Zelensky said. In addition, Kiev needs more air defense systems to strengthen the protection of Ukraine, he added.
On July 13, Zelensky announced that Kiev was preparing "new long-range strikes." He also noted then that the Ukrainian troops are actively holding the defense, and Ukraine needs to increase the supply of weapons and expand the joint production of defensive equipment. According to Zelensky, today about 40% of such weapons are produced at Ukraine.
The next day, on July 14, Military Watch Magazine (MWM) reported that the United States intends to transfer JASSM missiles for F-16 to Kiev. Their flight range reaches 1.8 thousand km. However, on July 15, US President Donald Trump denied his intention to supply Ukraine with long-range missiles. On Friday, July 18, Zelensky discussed the frequency of "dipstrikes" with the new Minister of Defense Denis Shmygal.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that strikes by long-range Western weapons deep into the country will mean that NATO is "at war with Russia."
