However, he added:

The entire naive and illusory concept of so-called red lines in relation to Russia, which dominated the assessments of the war by some partners, has collapsed in our days.

According to the Ukrainian president, the mistrust that could have been caused by the presentation of the idea of ​​Ukraine’s invasion of Kursk was one of the reasons why “no one heard” about the preparation of the said operation.

However, according to Zelensky, Ukraine’s successes in Kursk have already caused very important ideological changes.

That is why he asked Ukrainian diplomats step up its efforts to persuade partners, especially the US, UK, France and Germany, to allow the use of their long-range weapons against military targets deep into Russian territory.

“There is only one decision that separates Ukraine from the ability to stop the advance of the Russian Army on the front, which we expect from our partners. And this is a decision on long-range capabilities,” Zelensky said.

The President of Ukraine stressed that Russian military bases, airfields, logistics and others military installations are perfectly legitimate targets for the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

Given the situation in the Donetsk region (in the east), where the invasion forces continue to advance, the new delay on the part of Ukraine’s partners is becoming de facto “one of the most important pillars of Russia’s offensive potential,” he emphasized and concluded:

I insist: Putin’s reaction to the operation in the Kursk region shows that there is no rational reason not to allow us to be truly strong, truly long-range.
