Ukrainian
MP: use of longer range missiles to strike inside Russia not a 'silver bullet'
to guarantee victory
A
Ukrainian MP has said that the use of longer range missiles against Russia is
not a “silver bullet” that will guarantee victory for Ukraine, and called for a
change of strategy from western leaders.
Mariia
Ionova, who sits on the foreign affairs committee in the Ukrainian parliament,
told listeners of the BBC Radio 4 Today programme:
Missiles
are not the silver bullet against our common enemies, and that is why we are
asking all our friends that we need a change in strategy, because our enemies
are united and we should stand together as well.
When we
are talking about this permission [for longer range missile fire], yes, we
appreciate it, but that [alone] will not bring a victory.
[We need]
an air shield over Ukraine, more training, more western military instructors in
Ukraine, more sanctions, and also more secondary sanctions.
And I
think also we should be, and our friends’ leaders should be, more creative,
more brave.
Do not
exclude anything. Do not postpone. We understand the procedures in democratic
societies, but for us, time is human lives.
