Quote from Havrylov: "Ukraine is seizing the initiative – Russia is on the defensive, but to build up, it [Ukraine] needs weapons with a range of up to 200 kilometres...

We are implementing all our military plans in line with our estimates. The main thing in modern warfare is to have situational awareness to know the enemy's situation and to be able to deliver precision strikes over long distances.

In other words, to have a weapon capable of hitting the enemy at a range of up to 200 kilometres."
