Ukraine's long-range capabilities are changing the situation and the overall perception of Russia's war around the world, President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
As reported by Ukrinform, Zelensky stated this in his evening video address.
"Today, the Defense Forces of Ukraine, our Security Service of Ukraine, and our intelligence carried out a large-scale operation targeting the Moscow region. A good wave of our deep strikes – we are ensuring that Ukraine has this capability. The distance to the targets this time was more than 500 kilometers, and this is significant also because the Moscow region is the most heavily saturated with Russian air defense systems. They protect the area around their seat of power most of all. But Ukrainian long-range steps are already overcoming this," the head of state said.

"As I said yesterday, Russians should be thinking about their refineries, their oil facilities and enterprises – not about how to ruin the lives of other nations, whether in Ukraine, Moldova, or any other neighboring country. Over the past day, our Defense Forces also struck facilities in the temporarily occupied territory – including in Crimea," the President noted.
