Ukraine Strikes Russian Ammunition Facilities In Escalating Conflict

Volodymyr Zelensky Ukraine's President Zelenskiy, Moldova's President Sandu and President of the European Council Michel attend a joint press conference in Kyiv

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to present his 'victory plan' to US officials next week, which includes a request to use long-range missiles on targets inside Russia. Zelensky expressed the need for more weapons and mentioned that neither the US nor the UK has granted permission for such actions.

Zelensky attributed the allies' hesitation to fears of escalation and expressed hope that his arguments would be heard during his upcoming meetings with US officials, including President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. He also plans to meet with former President Donald Trump.

During his visit to the US, Zelensky is expected to attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York and visit an ammunition factory in Scranton, Pennsylvania, which produces critical munitions for Ukraine's war efforts against Russia.

Recent reports indicate that Ukrainian forces targeted ammunition facilities in Russia's Krasnodar and Tver regions. The strikes were said to be part of efforts to degrade Russian military infrastructure, with claims of hitting key ammunition storage bases and facilities storing tactical missile systems.

While Ukrainian officials have made these claims, Russian authorities have not commented on the alleged attacks on ammunition depots. The situation remains tense as Zelensky continues to seek support for his country's military actions against Russia.
