Fri 10 October 2025:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Thursday that Kyiv must significantly scale up production, delivery and employment of long-range missiles and drones to increase pressure on Russia and help bring about peace.

Zelensky told military leaders that Kyiv has been working to improve the quality of its long-range weapons and is expanding production, funding and training to boost battlefield effectiveness.

“The task now is to be significantly more active in everything related to the preparation and execution of long-range sanctions against Russia,” he said on Telegram. “The more effective Ukraine is in long-range capabilities, the sooner we will be able to achieve peace.”

He stressed that Ukrainian strikes aim to be precise and targeted. “Ukrainian precision is already evident; it needs to increase further. This is absolutely fair that Ukraine strikes back with precise, targeted attacks, and unlike Russia, we know exactly what we aim to achieve. Peace, of course,” he said.

US ‘stepping up the pressure’ for Ukraine deal alongside NATO

US President Donald Trump said Thursday that he is tightening the screws on Russia alongside NATO allies to secure a long-elusive deal to end the Kremlin’s war on Ukraine.

“We are stepping up the pressure. We’re stepping it up together. We’re all stepping it up. NATO has been great,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office as he hosted Finnish President Alexander Stubb. “We’re selling a lot of weapons to NATO, and that’s going, I guess, to Ukraine for the most part. That’s up to them, but they’re buying weapons from the US. We make the greatest weapons in the world.”
