How close is Ukraine to building its own long-range missiles? | DW News

Ukraine has asked for help from its European neighbours following massive Russian airstrikes.
In Kyiv, these residents sheltered in a subway as a series of explosions sounded in the capital. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the missile and drone bombardment was one of the largest of the war. The airstrikes hit energy facilities in some regions, disrupting power and water supplies.

Correction: It has come to our attention that the footage at 3:11 is from an April 2022 Russian attack on Kharkiv not the March 2022 attack on the Artem plant in Kyiv as the video says. We regret the error.

Proud to be Danish and that they are on the forefront with F16 and help towards Ukraine building their own production capabilities. Slava Ukraine

[wunderlol]

Just let Ukraine defend itself fully, not with one hand tied behind their backs.

Ukraine should be given everything they need to defend the country

[mikeshaunnessey]

You can't restrict Ukraine from using their own weapons. Anybody can give money to Ukraine. Including Germany.

[yvesthibault]

I’m Canadian and proud to support Ukraine…

[benmcreynolds]

I'm absolutely ashamed of my country. Ukraine should be able to do WHATEVER it takes to defend itself from these horrific attacks from Russia.

[motorheadbanger]

Something is for sure: Ukraine is never gonna be the same, mainly its military industry and facility. Moscow has made a huge mistake

[monica]

The US and NATO need to take the hand cuffs off of Ukraine's ability to defend itself.

[SteenLarsen]

As a Dane I am proud of our support to Ukraine! Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦!!!

[lyfMotorhead]

So Ukraine can't use western weapons to strike Russia. But Russia can use their rockets with western technology to strike Ukraine.

[borisreljanovic]

US and Europe should lift the restrictions. It"s not about stopping the arrow...it"s about stopping the archer. This war would already be over last year ago.

[RandomTV-hsdj]

Ukraine manufacturing their own 300km missle has been what I've hoped for

[tyharris]

Can't believe civilians are having to put up with life like this in 2024 in Europe.

[sumdude]

Sadly Germany keeps cowering to Russia.

[vasik]

Ukraine urgently needs a fair peace in 1991 borders!
Russia must withdraw its troops from Ukraine to stop this senseless bloodshed immediately!

[ABVampire]

Alexander Kamyshin essential Industry for any country. Backbone of Ukraine.

[VorbildRoß]

Russia needs to get out of Crimea and Ukraine and stop the War. Time for Russia to admit defeat and give up now.

[BDR]

Never forget in USSR era the think tank who developed nuclear weapons were majority in Ukraine Oblast❗️💪🏼

[normanbaratelli]

This is exactly what I feared as the result of Ukraine "daring" to defend their own country by invading Russia so their missiles could reach Russia's military infrastructure, as the west has denied Ukraine's use of long-range weapons to defend themselves. Russia has attacked children's hospitals, schools and churches, markets and, of course, entire cities. But try and successfully defend themselves against such terror... NO DEAL. Ukraine has been under attack for a decade now and if they lose American support, their nation may soon become a "slave country" to Putin's New Soviet. How short-sighted can we be?
