Ukraine seeks weapons to offset Russia’s ability to strike anywhere

Ukraine’s successes on the battlefield and its apparent success sabotaging the Kerch Bridge has brought punishment to its civilians and energy infrastructure

An explosion on the Kerch Bridge connecting the Crimea peninsula to Russia led to massive Russian retaliation against Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure in the 33rd week of the war.

This has lent new urgency to improving Ukraine’s air defences and prompted Ukraine to ask for longer-range weapons with which to punish Russia.
