Ukraine is working to ensure that all countries support long-range capabilities, including Germany, stated President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a press conference with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.
According to Zelenskyy, he had contact with newly elected US President Donald Trump.
"I only understand direct contact between presidents, and as for the team, they have their own contacts. I do not take seriously any unofficial voices in the media at this point," said the President.
He also confirmed that Ukraine has received permission to use long-range weapons to strike Russian territory.
"Regarding long-range capabilities, we are working to ensure all countries support them. I think after the statements about nuclear weapons, it's time for Germany to support the corresponding decisions. And now, when there are appropriate decisions, not only in the media but also from the relevant countries, it is very important to add to these decisions the number of capabilities that we can use to reduce the military potential of the Russian Federation wherever it is located," Zelenskyy said.
Authorization to strike Russia
It was recently revealed that the United States has authorized Ukraine to use American weapons to strike Russian territory. This information was officially confirmed today by US Under Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Brian A. Nichols.
Specifically, on the night of November 19, Ukraine's Defense Forces struck a munitions depot in the Bryansk region for the second time. Twelve secondary explosions and detonations were recorded. This warehouse had previously been targeted by drones, as confirmed by the Ukrainian General Staff
