Details: Zelenskyy noted that every Russian strike on Ukrainian cities and communities always "gets our fully justified response" .

Details: Zelenskyy added that key areas for the further deployment of Ukraine's long-range capabilities have been identified.
Quote: "Ukraine's long-range strike capabilities are one of the real guarantees of our independence now, during this war, and they will remain one of our long-term security guarantees after it ends. We are building up our strength. Today I also spoke with the manufacturers of these weapons."
