< p _ngcontent-sc100="" class="news-annotation">Strengthening military aid from Western partner countries will help end the war as soon as possible. Ukraine has an urgent need for missiles with a range of more than 250 kilometers.
About thisChannel 24said a veteran of the Russian-Ukrainian war, reserve major Alexei Getman. According to him, the Armed Forces of Ukraine with new weapons could effectively eliminate warehouses with enemies.
What opportunities will new weapons give Ukraine
Aleksey Hetman explained that Ukraine always emphasizes the need for long-range weapons in order to interrupt the supply of ammunition to the group, which is entrenched on the left bank of the Dnieper near Kherson, in the south of the country.
“And also to break the isthmus in the Crimea, and they could not transmit from it,” he stressed.
In his opinion, under this condition, the accumulation of infidels in the south of Ukraine will be surrounded and destroyed very quickly.
Hetman focused on the fact that the Ukrainians need missiles not for the offensive.
When we fight on our territory and liberate our territory, it can hardly be considered an offensive. It's more of a defense, he said.
According to him, the weapons that Ukraine is asking the West for can be called defensive weapons rather than offensive weapons.
“We are not attacking, at least for now, objects on Russian territory, but we are liberating our territory,” the reserve major noted.
He added that these are slightly different things.

Oleksiy Hetman stressed that given the UK's commitment to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and all the people, we can still expect a decision on the supply of longer-range missiles.
“After that, we hope for ATACMS, missiles for HIMARS from the United States and maybe even on the Reimstein-9, we will still talk about American cruise missiles. We badly need this weapon! he is convinced.
In his opinion, Ukrainians need to destroy warehouses, concentrations of Russian troops in the temporarily occupied territories, until they move deep into the country and cause trouble. However, such combat missions are difficult to accomplish using missiles with a range of only 70 kilometers.
It looks like someone is playing a computer game with our partners , – Hetman suggested.
According to him, sometimes such behavior of the West is surprising. This is dictated by the situation when at that time the Russians moved their strategic formations to such a distance where our weapons cannot yet finish firing.
“If we destroy them, it will hasten the victory,” – he emphasized.
In his opinion, the whole world is convinced that the war should be ended already, because many countries are suffering from it. To do this, you need weapons.
