(CLO) President Volodymyr Zelenskyy declared that Ukraine possesses many long-range weapons and will use them all, following Kyiv's attack on Russia's Bryansk region with US-supplied ATACMS missiles.
Zelenskyy's statement was made during a joint press conference with Danish Prime Minister Mette Fredriksen, according to Ukrinform. The statement came shortly after both sides confirmed the aforementioned long-range attack.
When asked by a journalist to confirm whether the attack on the ammunition depot near Bryansk was actually caused by US ATACMS missiles, he said: "Needless to say. Ukraine has long-range capabilities and produces its own long-range drones; we now have the long-range Neptune, not just one type. We now have ATACMS. We will use them all."
