🇺🇦🇷🇺 ZELENSKYY WARNS MOSCOW: NO PART OF RUSSIA IS BEYOND UKRAINE’S REACH Volodymyr Zelenskyy has delivered a warning to the Kremlin, declaring that Ukrainian forces can now reach targets once considered safely beyond the frontlines. His message comes as Ukraine continues expanding its long-range strike capabilities, increasingly challenging Russia’s ability to protect military installations and infrastructure deep inside its territory. For years, Moscow has launched missiles and drones against Ukrainian cities from positions far beyond the reach of most Ukrainian weapons. That geographical advantage is becoming less reliable. Ukraine’s domestically developed drones have demonstrated that distance alone cannot guarantee protection. Military airfields, ammunition depots and facilities supporting Russia’s war effort must now account for threats hundreds of kilometres from the battlefield. And that creates a difficult problem for Russian military planners. Every additional installation requiring air defence protection competes for systems, personnel and resources that could otherwise be deployed closer to the front. Zelenskyy’s declaration is a statement of Ukraine’s expanding capabilities, not proof that every target in Russia can be struck successfully. But the strategic implications are significant. Russia’s invasion has forced Ukraine to develop weapons capable of reaching the infrastructure sustaining the war. Moscow can no longer assume that launching attacks from deep inside Russian territory means operating beyond Ukraine’s ability to respond.
