Volodymyr Zelensky has revealed Ukraine has successfully combat tested its new domestically-produced Long Neptune missile with a range of 621 miles.

This puts Russian capital Moscow within its range with Zelensky saying that Kyiv has had 'significant results' on its missile programme aimed at providing its own security against the threat of Vladimir Putin.

'Long Neptune has been tested and successfully used in combat,' he said.

'A new Ukrainian missile, an accurate strike. The range is a thousand kilometres [621 miles].

'Thank you to our Ukrainian developers, manufacturers and military. We continue to work to guarantee Ukrainian security.'

Ukrainian Telegram channel Exilenova+ suggested that Friday's dramatic strike at Tuapse Oil refinery may have been by the new Neptune, which is a development of the earlier version of the weapon which sank Putin's Black Sea Fleet flagship, Moskva in 2022.

'There is an assumption that it was [the new] Neptune,' said the channel.

Ten explosions were heard when the strike came. However, there was no official confirmation, and a missile - rather than long-range drone - strike might have caused far more mayhem.

Well, I was hoping for peace between the two countries.  It doesn't look like that's going to happen.

Russia won't stop until they conquer Ukraine or face defeat.

Peace to them is the same as defeat.

Sure it could, Russia just has to stop attacking.

Well, we'll see what Putin does now.  The fear I have is when Ukraine hits Russia, Russia will use nukes on Ukraine. Then what?

Russia would have used nukes three years ago when they lost the attack on Kyiv.

That means they won't use them or can't use them.
