“In order to stop the barbaric shelling of Ukrainian cities, it is necessary to destroy the places where Russian missiles are launched. To do this, Ukraine needs long-range weapons and the permission of our partners to use them to hit Russian targets. We count on the support of our allies and will definitely make Russia pay,” Shmyhal emphasized.
