"Chance is quite big": more aircraft and long strikes open the way to victory - the Armed Forces officer

To extend: the commander of the 225th separate assault battalion of the Armed Forces Major Oleg Shiryaev stated that the supply of air defense systems and permission to strikes for deep purposes in Russia will give Ukraine a chance to win. The crucial role can be played by the support of Western allies - both in the form of Patriot SAC and political will to use long -range weapons. The Ukrainian officer told this in an interview with Defense Breaking.

"We have a chance [to win], and this chance is quite large. Now, if we get air defense, as well as means of striking long distances, then on the agenda will not be the question of ceasefire, but the question of the victory of a civilized world, a civilized event in this war," The serviceman also added that the blows to the production facilities of drones in Russia could reduce the intensity of attacks, but for this purpose Kiev requires long -range missiles and a political decision on their use.

Ukraine now has at least six Patriot batteries, however, according to Shiryaev, this is not enough. Russian rocket strokes and daily bombardment are ongoing, especially near the front line. The statement was made against the backdrop of reports on possible supply to Ukraine up to 10 Patriot batteries. In addition, according to Financial Times, former US President Donald Trump discussed with Vladimir Zelensky the idea of inflicting blows in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Although the White House Head later denied this information and stated that he was not on whose side in this war and wanted to stop bloodshed. "I am on whose side. I just want to stop murder. Zelensky should not target Moscow," Trump said. Recall that the announcement of US President Donald Trump about the transfer of 17 Patrio systems was a signal at once for two sides. For Ukraine, it is a confirmation of strategic partnership, and for Russia a warning about the consequences of rocket terror.
