Zelensky: All Deep-Strike Goals Must Be Locked In By Year-End


(MENAFN- UkrinForm) President Volodymyr Zelensky stated this in a video address, Ukrinform reports.

“I held a Staff meeting today – much of the discussion focused on our long-range sanctions against Russia and the results of our responses to Russian attacks. In particular, we spoke with manufacturers of weapons – weapons for deep strikes,” the Head of State said.

According to him, this is the correct format for the Staff meeting, bringing together manufacturers, those responsible for the effective employment of our drones and missiles, those in charge of funding, as well as diplomats.

Zelensky noted that the government is granting three-year contracts to the most effective manufacturers.

“We are expanding this long-contract approach so that both manufacturers and our army have greater certainty. At every Staff meeting, I will check the pace of contracting: this must be implemented. Under any scenario, Ukraine must always – and will always – have sufficient long-range capabilities. Both now, in wartime, and no less afterward – as part of the security guarantees for our future, for our children,” the President stressed.

He emphasized that long-range capabilities are a component of independence and will be a major element in ensuring peace.

“Global sanctions and our pinpoint precision are practically syncing up to end this war on terms fair for Ukraine. All deep-strike goals must be fully locked in by year's end, including expansion of our long-range footprint,” Zelensky underscored.

He thanked every unit and every component of the Security and Defense Forces of Ukraine for their accuracy, as well as the manufacturers who fully meet their assigned tasks.

“The funding is secured,” the President added.
