The Ukrainian military does not intend to attack the territory of Russia with multiple rocket launchers, which it will receive from the USA, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

"Ukraine will use these weapons solely for defense," he added in an interview with Newsmax.

According to him, the calls to provide Kiev with long-range weapons are aimed at defending the territory of Ukraine. At the same time, he pointed out that to attack Russia "on their land, as they have done with the Ukrainian military does not intend."

"I know people in the United States or someone in the White House are saying we can use their MLRS to attack Russia. Look, we're not going to attack Russia. We are not interested in Russia, we are not fighting on its territory," Zelenskyy said.
