Sybiha: Ukraine's long-range capabilities to force Russia to stop war

According to Ukrinform, the Foreign Minister, Andrii Sybiha, stated on the social media platform X.

“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. This is a well-calculated, precise, and smart campaign to degrade the Russian war machine and force Moscow to end the war sooner,” he claimed. 

Sybiha added that in the future, Ukraine's long-range arsenal will serve as a deterrent and a guarantee against new Russian aggression.

“In the future, Ukraine’s long-range arsenal will serve as a deterrence package and guarantee against any renewed Russian aggression. We have the technology and ability to produce more strength, but we need more investments to scale it up. I urge partners to increase contributions. Build in Ukraine and build 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,” Sybiha stressed.

The minister said that the war that Russia unleashed against Ukraine is returning to where it came from. “The sooner they realize this in the Kremlin, the sooner they take the only reasonable decision—to end this war,” he added.

As reported by Ukrinform, President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the new sanctions imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump will damage the Russian military machine, but Ukraine still needs long-range missiles to force Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin to make peace.
