Few things warm the souls of Ukrainians as much as footage of burning enemy military facilities and their oil refineries; now it is almost daily news, and Ukrainian long-range capability has now become the norm, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said.

"And few things warm the souls of Ukrainians as much as footage of burning enemy military facilities and their oil refineries. When this happened for the first time, it was big news. Now—it is almost daily. What previously seemed like fantasy has now become the norm. 'Patriots,' 'IRIS-Ts,' 'NASAMS,' F-16s. And something more: our own weapons, our own long-range capability," Zelenskyy says in an address on the fourth anniversary of the full-scale invasion by Russia.

The President noted that Ukraine has traveled the path from the point when it was being sent "body armor" to the point where Ukraine itself produces more than three million FPV drones per year.

"From the times when we admired 'Javelins' and 'Bayraktars' to the day when we have our own 'Sichen,' 'Hor,' 'Vampire,' 'Palyanytsya,' 'Peklo,' 'Ruta,' 'Flamingo.' From the request to close the sky to the ability to shoot down hundreds of 'Shaheds' in a night. From hedgehogs and fortifications on the streets of Kyiv to the Kursk operation and 'Pavutyna' (Web)," he adds.

Zelenskyy said this is not enough, and Ukraine will do more because Russia does not stop, "unfortunately, and fights by all methods against peace, against us, against people."
