Stoltenberg (Nato) gives the green light to Ukraine: “Kiev is free to strike in Russia”

The secretary general invites the Alliance countries to reconsider the constraints on the use of supplied armaments

ROME – NATO countries should reconsider the constraints relating to the use of armaments supplied to Ukraine, allowing Kiev to strike in Russia’s territory: this was suggested by the secretary general of the Alliance atlantica, Jens Stoltenberg.

His statements were released to the British weekly The Economist. “The time has come for allies to evaluate whether they should lift some of the restrictions placed on the use of weapons donated to Ukraine”Stoltenberg underlined. The secretary referred in particular to the ongoing clashes in the north-eastern quadrant of the country. “Especially now that there is a lot of fighting in Kharkiv, near the border,” Stoltenberg said, “denying Ukraine the ability to use these weapons against legitimate military targets on Russian territory makes it very difficult for the country to defend itself.” strong>.
