Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky issued a stern warning to Russia following reports that the United States, France, and the United Kingdom have authorized Ukraine to conduct long-range missile strikes within Russian territory. Zelensky emphasized that such actions are not announced in advance, stating, 'Strikes are not carried out with words; such things are not announced. Missiles will speak for themselves—they certainly will.' This development marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict, as Ukraine gains the capability to target deeper into Russian territory with U.S.-provided weaponry.
