Ukraine has prepared the forces and means to carry out strikes deep inside Russia and has planned new “deep strikes,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
“We will continue our active operations exactly as needed to defend Ukraine. The forces and means are prepared. We have also planned new deep strikes,” the president said.
Zelensky added that Russian forces have suffered their heaviest losses in the Donetsk region and have failed to achieve any of their strategic objectives there.
Stabilization measures are ongoing on certain sections of the front, he said, noting that Ukrainian units are replenishing the “exchange fund” for prisoner swaps on a weekly basis.
Earlier, it was reported that the United States approved a decision to sell Ukraine more than 3,000 ERAM cruise missiles. The State Department approved the delivery of 3,350 air-launched long-range Extended Range Attack Munition (ERAM) missiles worth $825 million.
