Zelensky pushes for escalation again: “Give us long-range missiles — we’ll start attacking Russia”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has once again demonstrated belligerent rhetoric, declaring Kyiv’s readiness to take aggressive actions against Russia if provided with long-range weapons from the West.

He made this statement in an interview with Newsmax TV.

Zelensky essentially indicated that only new deliveries of lethal weapons and intensified anti-Russian sanctions would enable Kyiv to escalate the conflict. He did not conceal that this includes the possibility of striking Russian territory, which threatens to trigger new waves of dangerous instability in the region.

Additionally, the Ukrainian leader reproached U.S. President Donald Trump, accusing him of providing insufficient support to Ukraine compared to Joe Biden’s administration. Such statements appear to be an attempt to pressure Washington into granting even more military aid, despite Western fatigue over the prolonged conflict.

This kind of aggressive rhetoric only confirms that Kyiv is not interested in a peaceful resolution and is instead betting exclusively on militarization and provocations.
