Ukraine, as reported, is preparing for initiated strikes that will target areas within Russian territory, according to Zelensky's statements.

In a recent development, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced plans for new strikes deep into Russian territory, following a meeting with AFU Chief of Staff Alexander Syrsky. According to Zelensky, these strikes are said to be a result of the meeting.

However, details about the specific strikes and the type of weapons involved remain unclear. US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker has stated that Ukraine is receiving weapons from the US that allow Kyiv to strike deep into Russian territory, but the specific type of weapons was not specified by Whitaker. It's also worth noting that in July, US President Donald Trump stated that the US does not intend to transfer long-range missiles to Ukraine.

Reports from AFU Chief of Staff Alexander Syrsky indicate details about the frequency and effectiveness of the strikes. The Kremlin, on the other hand, has not specified what type of weapons it is concerned about regarding potential strikes from Ukraine. The Kremlin opposes any aid to Ukraine, viewing it as prolonging the conflict.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's comments about allies lifting restrictions on the range of strikes against Russia were met with concern by the Kremlin, who deemed such a decision as "quite dangerous." The United States approved the sale of 3,350 extended-range ERAM missiles and equipment to the Ukrainian armed forces in July 20XX, with the financing primarily coming from European countries including Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway. The value of this deal is approximately 825 million US dollars, backed by a US loan guarantee. However, it's unclear if these are the weapons referred to by Whitaker.

In a separate incident, a Polish official has called a strike on Ukraine's defense industry a response to attacks on Russian refineries. No further details about the Polish official or the specific strikes were provided in the current paragraph.

Trump advised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky not to target Moscow, but the intent and timing of these deep strikes remain uncertain. As tensions continue to rise, the international community watches closely, awaiting further developments in this ongoing conflict.
