US Partially Lifts Ban on Ukraine Using US Arms in Strikes on Russian Territory
ai generated text
According to German government spokespersons, Ukraine is authorized to use weapons supplied by Germany, including those delivered for the purpose of defending Kharkiv, a city that has been targeted by Russian ballistic missiles. Ukrainian officials have expressed frustration over restrictions on the use of Western weapons and have argued that they have the right under international law to defend themselves against attacks coming from inside Russia.
1 / 2
We are facing confrontation between democracies and autocracies.
The Kremlin has started targeting democracies all around the world with cyber warfare, propaganda and influence operations and this danger simply cannot be underestimated any more.
Ukraine must be able to fight against Russia's barbaric invasion even on Russian territory. Political resolve must be backed by credible capabilities.
In recent weeks, Russia has prepared, coordinated and carried out attacks, particularly in the Kharkiv area, from positions in the immediately adjacent Russian border region. We are jointly convinced that Ukraine has the right under international law to defend itself against these attacks.
We need to remember what it is. This is a war of aggression launched by choice by Moscow against Ukraine.
Russia must understand that it cannot wait us out.
Putin wanted to deter the NATO allies from supporting Ukraine. But we are not and we will not be deterred.
I believe that time has come to (re)consider some of these restrictions to enable the Ukrainians to really defend themselves.
In Europe, especially in small countries, they should be aware of what they are playing with.
It will ultimately be very damaging to the interests of those countries that have chosen the path of escalating tensions.
They are provoking Ukraine in every possible way into continuing this senseless war.
It's not an attempt to scare or any sort of a nuclear bluff.
The enemy again used a double strike tactic, while medics, rescuers and law enforcement officers were already working on the spot.
Our partners must supply us with weapons so that we can push the enemy back behind the internationally recognized borders [of Ukraine].
