Zelenskyy: Russian officials must end war or seek bomb shelters

He made these remarks in an interview with Axios.

Zelenskyy said he has the support of U.S. President Donald Trump for strikes on Russian targets, such as energy infrastructure and weapons manufacturing plants. He also noted that if Ukraine receives additional long-range weaponry from the U.S., "we will use it."

The president emphasized that Ukraine will not attack civilians because "we are not terrorists." At the same time, he indicated that Russian power centers, including the Kremlin, are among potential targets.

"They have to know where the bomb shelters are. They need it. If they will not stop the war, they will need it in any case," the Ukrainian leader said about Kremlin officials.

• Earlier, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that despite Ukraine not having missiles, the country has drones capable of reaching distances of 2,000–3,000 km.
