Ukraine has no intention of attacking Russia – Zelensky

Ukraine’s President Zelensky has said his country has “no intention of attacking Russia”.

In an interview with conservative US TV channel Newsmax, the Ukrainian leader insisted the artillery would be used solely for self-defence.

“We are not interested in the Russian Federation. We are not fighting on their territory like they do with us,” Zelensky told Newsmax’s Rob Schmitt.

Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden has agreed to send Ukraine more advanced rocket systems.

This is in the hope that more artillery power will level the playing field between the two sides and make a diplomatic solution to bring the war to an end more likely.

But the US has agreed to provide the precision-guided missiles, which can reach targets as far as 70km (45 miles), only after gaining assurances that the weapons would not be used to attack targets inside Russia.
