Long–range weapons are one of the ways to resist Russia, save the lives of our people and fighters, said President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"Without long-range weapons, we cannot resist the Russian Federation, which uses the appropriate weapons. That's why we are so persistent," President Zelenskyy said at a joint press conference with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, who arrived in Kyiv on Thursday.

The President also noted that human lives, the lives of Ukrainian fighters are more important than stone ruins.
