Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for the removal of restrictions on long-range strikes against Russia, emphasizing the need for a “fair response” to ongoing Russian attacks.

In his evening address on August 11, 2024, Zelenskyy stressed that Ukraine is meticulously tracking all locations from which Russia launches missile strikes.

Today, one of the North Korean missiles launched by the Russians, unfortunately, killed two people in the Kyiv region—a father and his four-year-old son.

“Since the beginning of this summer, almost 2,000 strikes have been launched from the Kursk region alone against our Sumy region, including artillery, mortars, and drones,” Zelenskyy stated.

He argued that Ukrainians should have the ability to respond to such terror “as necessary to stop it.”.

Zelenskyy emphasized that removing restrictions on long-range strikes would save thousands of lives, drawing a parallel with how air defense systems protect lives. »
