烏克蘭持續發展能夠衝擊俄羅斯內陸地區的長程打擊能力,包括3日發射無人機攻擊距離約1千公里的聖彼得堡。烏克蘭總統澤倫斯基強調,強化深入打擊俄國的能力,使基輔在談判桌上,得以與莫斯科平起平坐。
澤倫斯基在與到訪基輔的北大西洋公約組織(NATO)秘書長會晤時,向媒體表示,「感謝老天,如今我們具備了安全保證,能夠讓我們在任何外交形式中與俄羅斯平起平坐,終結戰爭。」
澤倫斯基表示,對烏克蘭來說,提升攻擊規模只是時間問題,並重申自己準備好與俄羅斯總統普廷會面,直接對話終結這場戰爭。
對於烏俄領袖對話的可能性,莫斯科多次否決領導人直接協商的做法,主張只有在兩國談判代表就終戰協議達成共識後,才由領導人會面進行見證。
