Weapons for use in Russia: NATO chief Stoltenberg gives food for thought in the Ukraine war
This has been discussed for a long time, but now the NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg called on the member states to lift some restrictions on the use of the weapons provided to Ukraine. Specifically, this concerns the use of Western weapons in Russia. In recent weeks, Kiev has intensified its attacks on the aggressor country in the Ukraine war. There have been repeated reports of drone attacks, the infrastructure in the country has been damaged by Wladimir Putin should be switched off – partly successfully.
“Under international law, the right to self-defense includes the right to attack legitimate military targets outside Ukraine. That is part of self-defense,” Stoltenberg said in Bulgaria about the debate in the Ukraine war about Western weapons for use in Russia. There was a prompt verbal reaction from the Russian side: Stoltenberg was falling into “warlike ecstasy,” complained Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
Because of Ukraine war: Selenskyj calls for support in Spain in the fight against Putin
There will probably be more debate in the coming days about the use of Western weapons to attack Russia. Meanwhile, President Volodymyr Zelensky never tires of appealing to European partners for further support for his country in the war in Ukraine. For example, Spain signed a bilateral security agreement with Ukraine during the Ukrainian president’s first official visit to Madrid. The agreement provides, among other things, for Spanish military aid in the current year amounting to one billion euros. Among other things, Ukraine is to continue to receive anti-aircraft missiles, Leopard tanks and ammunition for the war in its own country.
France, meanwhile, is planning to provide more support to Kiev in the training of its army in the war in Ukraine. He welcomed “France’s initiative to send instructors to Ukraine to train Ukrainian army personnel,” Ukrainian commander-in-chief Olexander Syrskyj wrote on Facebook on Monday. He has already signed documents “that will enable the first French instructors to soon visit our training centers and familiarize themselves with their infrastructure and personnel.” Poland, on the other hand, should not rule out deploying its own troops in Ukraine, according to Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski. “We should keep Putin in the dark about our intentions,” he said in an interview. Belgium wants to provide Ukraine with 30 F-16 fighter jets.
