Storm Shadow missiles significantly accelerate the end of the war - Podolyak

Mykhailo Podolyak, Adviser to the Head of the President's Office, commented on the transfer of long-range Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine and named the key tasks that they will solve.

Podolyak told about this in an interview with Channel 24.

In response to questions about Storm Shadow, the Adviser to the Head of the Presidential Office emphasized that at this stage of the war, a long-range missile with a range of over 150 km is an extremely important tool that solves three key tasks:

1. significantly speeds up the end of the war;

2. significantly reduces the combat capability of Russia by a very large percentage - strategic Russian depots will be destroyed;

3. significantly minimizes Ukrainian losses.

"Therefore, long-range missiles are a very important tool if we want to move from this stage of the war to its finalization exclusively on Ukraine's terms. Because any other conditions, even partially compromising, will mean the transfer of the war to the next stage," Podolyak noted. He is convinced that Russia will definitely "work on its mistakes" and better prepare.

"So today is a historic moment when it is possible to put a stop to such a type of Russian statehood," added the Adviser to the Head of the Presidential Office.
