2/6 The Ministry of Strategic Industry of Ukraine has unveiled a new long-range Neptune missile, designed with the capability to target locations up to 1000 kilometers away.
3/6 The Neptune missile was initially designed for anti-ship purposes, but in 2023, Ukraine disclosed that they had been developing an extended-range ground-to-ground variant of the missile.
4/6 This is positive news, as even if Ukraine's allies authorize the use of the missiles they supply to target russian territory, the quantity of missiles provided will never be adequate.
5/6 Ukraine's strategic focus on developing their own domestic systems is a wise move, as it reduces their reliance on foreign aid.

3/7 For 26 months, we've witnessed Ukraine being bombed, yet we still hesitate to send them some of our unused air defense batteries. This is unacceptable, especially for countries that are not bordering russia.
