He announced this today, June 16, on Telegram, <a href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/\">UATV English<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n    <blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cThis time, Ukraine\u2019s long-range capabilities were felt in the Moscow region. An oil refinery located 500 kilometers away was hit. I thank the warriors of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, military intelligence, and the missile troops for their effective work,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n   <p>He stressed that Russia must be compelled to end the war.<\/p>\n    <blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cAnd Ukraine\u2019s long-range weapons are one of the key components of such pressure.

Today, Ukraine\u2019s Defense Forces are capable of successfully striking targets at distances of up to 2,000 kilometers.
