The Minister of Defense of Ukraine said that the country will provide guarantees that it will not strike at Russia if it receives the long-range missiles it has been asking its allies for, CNN reports.

“Since Ukraine needs long-range missiles that will not allow the enemy to hold the defense and will not force him to lose, it is ready to coordinate goals with partners,” Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said on Thursday at meetings with the European Commission, according to the statement. Ukriinform media.

Reznikov called on other countries to help Ukraine establish anti-missile defense. He emphasized the need to get the Patriot and SAMP/T systems as soon as possible, as well as more IRIS-T and NASAMS systems, which are air defense systems.

“If we had the opportunity to strike at a distance of 300 kilometers, the Russian army would not be able to maintain its defense and would have to lose. Ukraine is ready to provide any guarantees that your weapons will not be used for attacks on the territory of Russia. We have enough targets in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine, and we are ready to coordinate targets with our partners,” he said.

Ukraine should also increase the number of artillery, shells and weapons capable of overcoming and destroying Russian electronic warfare and air defense systems, he added.

Ukraine will receive Western battle tanks after lengthy negotiations and is looking for fighter jets to fight back against Russian and pro-Moscow forces.
