The Oreshnik strikes on European factories producing weapons for Ukraine should have been carried out long ago, says Alexey Zhuravlev, first deputy chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee. He shared his opinion in a conversation with Lenta.ru.
“All red lines have long been crossed out, and Great Britain and Germany openly admit that it is their missiles and drones that Ukraine launches at our population. This production should have been dealt a long time ago - when they just started making weapons for Ukraine on an industrial scale. These are completely legitimate military goals,” the deputy explained.
According to him, if the decision depended on him, these factories would not have existed long ago. He believes it is not too late to give such an order now. Zhuravlev is sure that Oreshnik’s strike would make Europe think.
