“Ukraine's long-range power is the key to forcing Russia to end the war. The further we can act, the shorter the war will be,” the minister wrote.
According to Sibiga, Ukraine’s own potential in this area is growing rapidly, and the number of successful strikes against legitimate military targets in the Russian Federation is growing every week.
“This is a well-calculated, precise and smart campaign designed to weaken the Russian military machine and force Moscow to quickly end the war,” the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry emphasized. “In the future, the Ukrainian long-range arsenal will serve as a deterrence package and a guarantee against any new Russian aggression.”
As Sibiga said, Ukraine has the technology and the ability to produce more weapons, but Kyiv needs more investment to build it up.
The Ukrainian minister called on partners to increase contributions and “build in Ukraine and together with Ukraine.”
“Start new joint projects. This is a two-way street, because those who help Ukraine now get new opportunities for their own defense potential in the future,” Sibiga argued.
He called it “fair” that “the war that Russia launched against Ukraine is returning to where it came from.”
“The sooner the Kremlin understands this, the sooner they will make the only reasonable decision – to end this war,” Sibiga concluded.
Ukraine's long-range strength is key to forcing Russia to end the war. The longer we can reach, the shorter the war will be.
Ukraine's own relevant capacities are quickly growing. The number of successful hits on legitimate military targets in Russia is increasing every week.…
