Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy comments on the information that US President Joe Biden gives Ukraine permission to use long-range weapons against targets deep inside Russia.
– Such things are not announced. Robots will speak for themselves.
The United States gives Ukraine the right to use American long-range robots against targets inside Russia, unnamed officials told several media outlets.
The information has not been confirmed by the White House.
– Such things are not announced. Robots will speak for themselves. They will definitely do that, Zelenskyy said of the media reports, in his evening speech late on Sunday.
The first such attacks may come in the next few days, Reuters reports citing sources.
Zelenskyj, though not jokingly, also poked German Chancellor Olaf Scholz for Friday’s phone conversation with the Russian president. Russia attacked Ukraine with over 200 robots and drones on Sunday, Zelenskyy emphasized.
– This is the answer to all those who wanted to achieve something with Putin through discussions, phone calls, hugs and concessions. Today this “dove of peace” sent us another flood of “Kinzhal” and “Kalibr” robots. That’s his diplomacy.
– Time should not be spent on talking to anyone in Moscow, but on really forcing Russia to end the war.
