He said the “straight-line distance is over 1,500 kilometers” and added that Ukraine would continue to expand the range of its capabilities. He described the actions as “entirely justified Ukrainian responses to Russian terror.”

Zelenskyy stated that the objective of such strikes is to reduce Russia’s military-industrial capacity, logistics networks, and oil export capabilities.

“The results are obvious to everyone. It is also obvious to everyone that Russia must end its war. It is time to move to diplomacy, and this is a signal that Moscow should hear. Glory to Ukraine!” he wrote.
