Ukraine is facing a critical moment in its conflict with Russia, as the country experiences massive airstrikes and bombardments. The latest drone strikes on Kyiv have left residents seeking shelter in subways as explosions echo through the capital. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has described the missile and drone attacks as some of the largest of the war, with energy facilities being targeted and power and water supplies disrupted in certain regions.
In response to the ongoing attacks, Ukraine has reached out to its European neighbors for assistance. Amidst the chaos and destruction, there are efforts being made in Ukraine to enhance its defense capabilities. One major development is Ukraine’s pursuit of building its own long-range missiles, a move that could potentially shift the balance of power in the region.
An interview with Alexander Kamyshin, the Ukrainian Minister of Strategic Industries, sheds light on the country’s efforts to produce long-range missiles. Additionally, Frank Ledwidge, a senior lecturer in strategic studies at Portsmouth University and former UK military intelligence officer, provides insights on the implications of Ukraine developing its own long-range missiles.
As the conflict between Ukraine and Russia escalates, the question remains: how close is Ukraine to building its own long-range missiles? The outcome of these developments could have far-reaching consequences for the ongoing conflict and the region as a whole.
