Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine is rightfully responding to massive Russian attacks with long-range strikes on Russian territory and intends to increase the number of such responses.

Axar.az informs, citing Ukrainian media, he voiced these words during a joint briefing with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and representatives of the media.

The Head of State has released figures on the intensity of the daily attacks that Russian occupation forces are launching against Ukrainian cities and critical infrastructure.

"So, Russia is firing at us with around 650 drones and between 35 and 100 missiles a day," Zelensky said.

Although Ukraine does not yet possess the same number of weapons as the aggressor country, the Defence Forces are already capable of delivering painful retaliatory strikes against military targets deep within Russian territory, Zelensky emphasised.

According to him, the Ukrainian army currently deploys around 300–350 long-range weapons every day against legitimate military targets on enemy territory.

"We are fighting back, and of course we don’t currently have the same number of assets, but we have 300–350 assets that we are deploying, and we will reach a level that will allow us to counter them fully. And, of course, Russia understands that if there are 600 drones and missiles, they will feel this war just as we do, but they will feel it at home", the president added.
