DPR head says supplies of long-range systems to Kiev to postpone end of special operation

Russian forces will be forced to push Ukrainian military away further from the borders due to supplies of long-range systems to Kiev, Acting Head of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) Denis Pushilin said in an interview with TASS.

"The more long-range western systems will be delivered to Ukraine, the more we will be forced to push the threat away from our borders. Consequently, it [special military operation] will take more time," he said.

It is thus unreasonable to speak about any date of the end of the special military operation, Pushilin added.
