Zelenskyy: Ukrainian drones will cover over 3,000 km, we will keep increasing range
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Ukrainian-made drones will soon be able to fly more than 3,000 kilometers, and Ukraine will intensify strikes on Russian territory.
In an interview with TSN. Tyzhden, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukraine's defense industry and military forces have started a process to bring the war back to Russian soil. He emphasized that Ukraine will respond daily to Russian attacks and gradually increase the scale of its strikes.
Zelenskyy revealed that the previous day, Ukrainian drones successfully hit an oil refinery in the Tyumen region. The straight-line distance was 2,070 kilometers, while the drones' flight route spanned 2,500 kilometers. The president noted that new drones capable of flying over 3,000 kilometers are already being developed, and Ukraine will continue to extend its strike range.
"We know where their military plants, oil depots, and gas storage facilities are. We need instruments for longer distances, and we are making them," Zelenskyy said. He added that this year Ukraine has finally begun to "hit them painfully," calling it an element of justice that the world still lacks regarding Russia.
On June 20, Zelenskyy reported that Ukrainian drones had attacked an oil refinery in Tyumen, more than 2,000 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.
