Details: Zelenskyy said Ukraine is constantly working to get more long-range missiles.

Quote: "We are lobbying for this through different doors, but we will definitely get a result. Just like we got serious missiles. It wasn't easy; we have Storm Shadow, just like with Rishi [Sunak – ed.], I negotiated with Emmanuel Macron for SCALP-EG, and we got them. The military is very pleased, with an almost 100% hit rate."
