Ukrainian President Zelenskyy says new weapon system has range of 700km and ‘the task is to make this number bigger’.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his country has developed a weapon that can hit a target 700km (435 miles) away, in an apparent reference to an aerial attack this week on an airport in western Russia that destroyed several military aircraft.

The weapon was produced by Ukraine’s Ministry of Strategic Industries but he gave no further details.
