The Telegram channel of the President of Ukraine published a fragment of his speech at the summit of the European Political Community in Great Britain, on the occasion of the request for permission to fire Western weapons at distant targets in Russia.< /p>
"The fewer restrictions we have on the use of effective weapons, the more actively Russia will pursue peace. Military airports from which Russian planes take off with bombs against our cities, places from which Russian missiles are launched - all this must be destroyed, Zelensky said.
According to him, such strikes will "reduce Russia's ability to continue the war".
"Missiles and drones are not 'carriers of state sovereignty,' so a collective will is needed to shoot them down in the same way as was the case with Iranian missiles and drones," Zelensky added. "I appeal to all leaders who can contribute the necessary courage." These steps must be taken."
We remind you that most Western countries authorized strikes on Russian territory only near the Ukrainian border, which does not allow Kiev to attack targets located deep in Russian territory and from which Russia sends missiles, aircraft and drones to Ukraine.
