The President voiced the conditions during an interview with a foreign publication.
The war will not end until Ukraine is strong.
Ukraine needs long-range missiles, artillery and air defense systems. President Volodymyr Zelensky said this in interview American TV channel CBS News.
"How long will the war last? In this situation, until Ukraine is strong. Ukraine is not yet as strong as it can be. We need to be given the opportunity to act on the battlefield," Zelenskyy said.
Ukraine needs, firstly, Patriot systems, which can be provided by the United States of America, Zelensky said.
Secondly, our country needs parity in artillery, the president said.
And Zelensky called long-range missiles the third condition.
"If Russia knows that a drone can fly on its head, it shoots less. If it knows that Ukraine has missiles that are as long-range as their X or Kinzhals, then they will shoot less at both people and energy. Because Putin will be afraid that people will take him out of the Kremlin," Zelensky said.
