Zelenskyy Said When A Ballistic Missile Capable Of Reaching Moscow Will Be Ready

The President of Ukraine called Fire Point.

Following the first successful combat deployment of its own FP-7 ballistic missile with a range of about 250 km , Volodymyr Zelenskyy is looking forward to a model capable of reaching Moscow. He stated this in an interview with the agency Reuters.

The President of Ukraine said that he called the manufacturer—Fire Point—and demanded that management speed up the completion of work on a model with a longer range—the FP-9—which, according to the company, will be capable of reaching Moscow.

“I told them, ‘Where’s my FP-9?’” Zelenskyy said with a smile. “We need the FP-9. And the FP-9 will be ready this fall—I’m sure of it.”

Ukrainian officials warn that Russia has stockpiled hundreds of ballistic missiles ahead of an expected winter offensive against electricity and water supply facilities. Last winter—the harshest of the war so far—Russian strikes left a significant portion of the country without electricity and heat for several days in a row.

Since the summer of 2026, Moscow has also begun launching dozens of fast and relatively inexpensive “Shahed” jet drones daily against Ukraine: air defense forces are struggling to intercept them, as their own interceptor drones are too slow.

Zelenskyy reported that Ukraine has been forced to rely heavily on fighter jets—F-16s and MiGs—to destroy about 60% of Russian jet drones, but supplies of 20-mm ammunition for the aircraft are running low.

Kyiv is urgently working on other solutions, including expanding its electronic warfare capabilities, he said. In the second half of October 2026, Ukraine will receive its first batch of small, inexpensive anti-aircraft missiles capable of taking down the new “Shaheds.”

Last week, Zelenskyy reported that Ukraine is developing five models of new interceptor drones capable of shooting down jet-powered “Shaheds.” After a meeting with defense ministry officials, he said that tests of two of these models showed modest results—about 30%.


“We’ll have to scale this up,” he said. “I hope that with all these things, with all these elements, we’ll find a way forward.”

The president also noted that Ukraine will intensify strikes on Russian oil refineries. This will be a response to Moscow’s new policy of airstrikes, aimed at forcing people to flee Kyiv and other cities. However, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will not attack civilians.
