AFP reported that the president was "highly critical" of the restrictions on using Western-supplied weapons to strike Russian territory.

Quote: "They can fire any weapons from their territory at ours.

This is the biggest advantage that Russia has. We can't do anything to their systems, which are located on the territory of Russia, with Western weapons."
