The President of Ukraine called on all countries to support the provision of long-range weapons, especially Germany. The first strikes with American weapons have already been made against a military arsenal in the Bryansk region.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukraine is working to ensure that all countries support long-haul. He believes that it is time for Germany to support the relevant decisions. He said this during a joint press conference with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, UNN reports.

"As for long-range, we are working to ensure that all countries support long-range. I think that after the statements about nuclear weapons, I think it's time for Germany to support the relevant decisions. Now that there are relevant decisions, not only in the media but also from the relevant countries, it is very important to add to these decisions the number of opportunities with which we can reduce Russia's military potential wherever it is," Zelenskyy said.

Addendum

US and Ukrainian officials told The New York Times that two days after US President Joe Biden authorized Ukraine to use US-made long-range weapons to strike targets in Russia, the first strikes were carried out.

On November 19, the 67th arsenal of the Russian Armed Forces in the Bryansk region was hit. The warehouse stored military weapons, including artillery ammunition from the DPRK, CABs, anti-aircraft missiles and MLRS ammunition. The damage was confirmed by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. There were 12 secondary explosions and detonations in the target area.
