President Zelenskyy said that Ukraine needs sufficient long-range weapons to change the course of the war. He discussed this issue with senior US and UK officials.

The issue of Ukraine's need for long-range capability is no longer in doubt, as it will help turn the tide at the front, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy  said during a speech at the XX Yalta European Strategy meeting, UNN reports.

Putin does not need any permits or approvals for long-range operations. Anyone who simply sees on a map where Russia strikes from, where it trains its forces and keeps reserves, where it locates military facilities and what logistics it uses - anyone who sees all this obviously understands why Ukraine needs long-range capability

- Zelensky said.

Zelenskyy noted that he had recently discussed this issue in detail with U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and British Foreign Secretary David Lammy. According to the president, after this meeting, there are no more unresolved issues regarding the need to provide Ukraine with sufficient long-range assets.

I want to emphasize: sufficient. Not enough to just say that there is a solution. Long-range, enough to change the course of the war and make Russia seek peace. And we hope for our partners, we hope for the result from our partners. At least we are working on it

- the President added.
