Ukraine is working to obtain permission from the United States to use long-range U.S. weapons to strike Russian military airfields in response to Russia's missile attacks on Ukraine, including a strike on the Okhmatdyt children's hospital.

Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that Ukraine is working on obtaining permission from the United States to use American long-range weapons at Russian military airfields amid Russia's strikes on Okhmatdyt. Kuleba said this during a telethon, UNN reports.

Details

Russia needs to provide a comprehensive, powerful response to this attack (on Okhmatdyt - ed.). A powerful defense and diplomatic strike and the decisions made in Poland are the first step, and the decisions to be made at the NATO summit are the second step. They will concern real practical things, what weapons Ukraine will receive, what air defense systems Ukraine will receive. But we will work on another important decision that does not depend on NATO, but depends on the United States. And this will be discussed during our contacts with American officials and other partners. This is the permission to use long-range weapons on Russian military airfields. That is, on the territory of the Russian Federation. We need to ruthlessly destroy all military targets involved in the bombing of Ukraine and missile attacks on Ukraine. Revenge must be cold-blooded, but it must happen

- Kuleba said.

Recall

Earlier, Dmytro Kuleba said that yesterday's missile strike on Ukraine was related to the security agreementsigned by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, as well as the NATO summit in Washington.
