According to Reuters, he wrote about this: “Our country’s coastal defense will not only use harpoon missiles, but will also be used by trained Ukrainian teams.”
The Ukrainian military official explained that the coastal missiles to the Harpoon ship will be operated alongside the Ukrainian Neptune missiles in defense of the country’s coasts, including the port of Odessa.
According to the report, Roznikov stated: “Ukraine has also received a range of heavy artillery, including US-made self-propelled howitzers, which allows the Ukrainian military to attack targets from longer distances.”
Earlier, the Paltico website reported, citing informed sources that the US government’s opposition to sending long-range missile systems to Ukraine has caused concern and despair among Kiev officials.
