Zelenskyy on strikes against Russia: They aimed only at military targets
The targets in Russia that Ukraine is striking are exclusively military, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
"I would like to note now all of our soldiers who are carrying out long-range strikes against Russian territory. And we have the right results in destroying the enemy's military infrastructure and only that. Ukraine is defending itself from aggression and our strikes are aimed exclusively at military targets," Zelenskyy said in an evening video address on Thursday.
"The Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, the Main Intelligence Agency, the Foreign Intelligence Service – I am grateful to you for your accuracy, to all the structures involved," the head of the Ukrainian state said.
