President Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that Ukraine's Defense Forces, the Security Service, and intelligence launched massive strikes on the Moscow region from a distance of over 500 kilometers. The head of state announced this in his evening address, UNN reports.<\/p>\n
"First of all, our precision \u2013 our long-range sanctions against Russia for this war. Today, the Defense Forces of Ukraine, our SBU, and our intelligence worked very extensively on the Moscow region. A good wave of our deep strikes \u2013 we are providing Ukraine with this capability. The distance to the targets this time is more than 500 kilometers; this is significant also because the Moscow region is the most saturated with Russian air defense systems. They protect their seat of power the most. But Ukrainian long-range steps are already overcoming this," Zelenskyy noted.<\/p>\n
"As I said yesterday, Russians need to think about their refineries, their oil facilities, their enterprises, and not about how to break the lives of other nations \u2013 in Ukraine, or in Moldova, or in any other neighboring country," the President emphasized.<\/p>\n

He also added that during this day, the Defense Forces worked on targets in the temporarily occupied territory, specifically in Crimea. <\/p>\n
According to Zelenskyy, Ukraine's partners are now sending signals that they see what is happening and how everything has changed both in the mood regarding this war and in the reach of Russian targets on Russian territory. <\/p>\n
"The war is quite predictably returning to its 'home harbor,' and this is a clear signal that one should not mess with Ukraine and wage an unjust war of aggression against another people \u2013 specifically against the people. It is important that we are sending such a signal and sending it specifically today, on the Day of Remembrance of hundreds of thousands of victims of totalitarian repressions \u2013 repressions originating precisely from Moscow," the President noted. <\/p>\n
On May 16th and the night of May 17th, Moscow and the Moscow region suffered a massive drone attack; explosions were heard in Zelenograd. Mayor Sobyanin claimed 114 drones were shot down over the day.<\/p>\n
