Ukraine Solved Its NATO Weapons Problem
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday confirmed reports that his country has developed its own long-range weapons.
“A successful use of our long-range weapons: A target was hit 700 kilometers away,” Zelensky said during a conference call with Kyiv officials, according to the Interfax-Ukraine news agency.
Ukraine’s allies in NATO have been instrumental in outfitting Zelensky’s military during its war against Russian President Vladimir Putin’s forces, but they have mostly been reluctant to provide long-range weapons.
Analysts have speculated that the hesitance to provide such weapons to Kyiv could come from fear of escalation on the part of Russia if strikes occur on its territory using Western-supplied weapons.
Russian officials have also warned that the provision of longer-ranged weapons would be considered a “red line” by Moscow.
