Zelenskyy: We need West to permit long-range strikes and supply the weapons

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Monday Ukraine was "more positive" about the prospects of getting permission from its Western allies to conduct long-range strikes on targets inside Russia.

"For today, only to allow – is also not enough," he told a briefing after meeting with Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof in Ukraine's southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia.

Zelenskyy said allies should supply the weapons for such strikes.
