Ukraine is hoping for results from its partners on long-range capability. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his speech at the 20th Yalta European Strategy Meeting.

The Head of State noted that while Ukraine is waiting for the delivery of the promised air defense systems, primarily Patriots, from its partners, Russia continues to strike our country. The Russian dictator does not need any long-range permissions for this.

"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, clearly understands why Ukraine needs long-range capability," the President stressed.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy also noted that he had recently discussed this in detail with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and British Foreign Secretary David Lammy. According to the Head of State, after this meeting, there cannot be any unanswered questions about why Ukraine needs sufficient long-range capability.

"I want to highlight: sufficient. Sufficient not to simply say that there is a decision, but to really change the course of the war and make Russia seek peace. And we are really counting on our partners, hoping for results from our partners. At least, we are working on it," the President added.
