"I believe that all bans on the use of long-range capabilities provided by allies should be immediately revoked, specifically for the attacks on the sites where Russia stores weapons that destroy our cities and kill our people," Arakhamia said.

He emphasized that the Ukrainian defenders do not lack skill for such operations.

According to Arakhamiya, this year's offensive by Russian troops in Kharkiv region showed the effectiveness of attacking enemy capabilities before they are used against Ukraine.
