Ukraine now has a cruise missile that can travel over 600 miles, far enough to reach Moscow, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy boasted over the weekend.

"We have significant results," Zelenskyy said Saturday. "Long Neptune has been tested and successfully used in combat. A new Ukrainian missile, an accurate strike. The range is a thousand kilometers," or 620 miles.

That puts Moscow within striking range.

The missile has been in development for years. Battle watchers believe the combat success Zelenskyy referred to was a Friday strike on an oil refinery in Tuapse, Russia, some 300 miles from the front line.

The refinery is under 60 miles from Russian President Vladimir Putin’s sprawling cliffside palace on the Black Sea in Gelendzhik.

The Neptune cruise missile was used in April 2022 to take out a flagship of Russia’s Black Sea fleet.

Zelenskyy recently pledged that Ukraine would produce 100,000 long-range munitions in 2025.

Russia intercepted and destroyed several Ukrainian drones flying over Moscow on Friday, with some coming as close as just two miles away from the Kremlin, according to Russian officials. White House envoy Steve Witkoff was in Moscow last week.

The fresh attacks and new offensive weapons contradict the delicate ceasefire negotiations that will culminate in a phone call between President Donald Trump and Putin on Tuesday.

Zelenskyy has already agreed to the terms of a 30-day ceasefire after meetings with U.S. officials in Saudi Arabia.

"We'll be talking about land, we'll be talking about power plants, that's a big question. But I think we have a lot of it already discussed, very much, by both sides, Ukraine and Russia," Trump said of his call.

Russia has not accepted the terms of the ceasefire and accelerated attacks on Ukraine after Zelenskyy said he would agree to it.

• Ukraine has a new version of its Neptune missile with a longer range.

• Kyiv said the new weapon has a reach of over 600 miles and has already been used in combat.

• The Neptune began as an anti-ship cruise missile but was later modified for land attack missions.

Ukraine has a new version of its homemade Neptune cruise missile for longer-range attacks, expanding the country's deep-strike arsenal, and it says it has already used the weapon against Russia.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Saturday that he received "significant" news on the country's missile program, specifically that the "Long Neptune" had been tested and successfully used in combat.

"A new Ukrainian missile, an accurate strike. The range is a thousand kilometers (or 620 miles)," Zelenskyy said in a post on the Telegram messaging platform. "Thank you to our Ukrainian developers, manufacturers, and military. We continue to work to guarantee Ukrainian security."

The Long Neptune missile is a bigger version of Kyiv's R-360 Neptune anti-ship missile, a subsonic truck-launched munition that Ukraine previously modified to strike land targets. It's made by the Ukrainian defense manufacturer Luch Design Bureau.

The new missile has been in the works for some time. Last year, Ukraine's defense minister, Rustem Umerov, said that serial production of Neptune missiles had expanded and that they were being upgraded to strike at longer ranges. The munition could previously hit targets over 200 miles away.

Ukraine has used Neptune missiles to strike high-value Russian targets, including the cruiser Moskva, once the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, in the early days of Russia's full-scale invasion. The missile has also been used to attack high-end air defense batteries and oil terminals.

Ukrainska Pravda said sources told the outlet the Long Neptune missile was used late last week to strike an oil refinery in the Russian city of Tuapse, some 300 miles from the front lines. That would mark one of Ukraine's latest strikes targeting Moscow's energy sector as Kyiv looks to deprive its neighbor of critical revenue.

The new missile exceeds the ranges of the ground- and air-launched missiles Ukraine received from its Western partners. The weapon comes as Kyiv's booming defense industry becomes increasingly self-reliant.

The Neptune is part of a growing arsenal of homemade munitions as Ukraine looks to strengthen its deep-strike capabilities with missiles and drones. Kyiv has used its arsenal to hit key Russian airfields, ammunition storage warehouses, and energy facilities.
