According to him, this is a temporary phenomenon.
“To address this issue, we need approval from our international partners to carry out long-range precision strikes deep into Russia, particularly on nearby airbases. The Defense Forces are already performing these tasks with unmanned systems, which have been used more frequently than by the enemy in the past month. However, to completely neutralize the operations of enemy high-intensity aviation, we need permission to use precision weaponry. I am confident that this day will come; the front will create the necessary conditions for our diplomats to present the arguments and evidence needed to obtain this approval,” Yuriy Fedorenko summarized.
