Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Wednesday called on Western countries to ignore Russia's "red lines" and allow the use of long-range weapons to attack Russian territory.
He made the remarks at a meeting of the Ramstein Group, a group of about 50 countries that supply weapons to Ukraine. This is the first time Zelenskiy has attended the meeting.
"We need to have long-range weapons not only in occupied areas of the country, but also in Russian territory, to encourage Russia to seek peace," he said.
As Ukraine carries out cross-border attacks into western Russia, Russia is carrying out missile and drone strikes across Ukraine.

On the 6th, Secretary of State for the President of Ukraine Yermak criticized the screening of a documentary about Russian soldiers who invaded Ukraine at the Venice International Film Festival in northern Italy, calling it "shameful." The film's sympathetic portrayal of Russian soldiers has caused controversy, and people posted on X (formerly Twitter) calling it a Russian "propaganda film."
According to European media, the film was produced by Russian-Canadian director Trofimova, who accompanied troops near the front lines. The film is said to have challenged the stereotypes of Western countries that view Russian soldiers as "war criminals," but it makes little mention of the reality of the damage done in Ukraine.

CIA Director Says Russia's Tactical Nuclear Weapons Threat Seemed Real in 2022 As mentioned in an earlier post, the heads of the US and UK intelligence services also spoke at the Financial Times Festival in London today. In response to questions from guests, they shared some more interesting details about the war in Ukraine.
CIA Director William Burns said that the risk of Russia using tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine in the fall of 2022 seemed real, which is why President Joe Biden sent him personally to meet with a Kremlin representative to warn of the consequences (Burns did not go into details of these contacts, but it is known that he met with the head of the SVR Sergei Naryshkin in Ankara in November of that year ). “None of us should take the risks of escalation lightly,” the BBC’s Gordon Corera quotes him as saying. At the same time, Burns added: “I don’t think we can afford to be intimidated by this saber-rattling.”
