British Prime Minister David Cameron has said that Ukraine has the right to use weapons provided by London to strike targets inside Russia, as Moscow is striking at Ukrainian territory.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to Cameron's interview with Reuters.

"Ukraine has this right. Just as Russia is striking inside Ukraine, you can understand why Ukraine feels the need to make sure it defends itself," Cameron said during his visit to Kyiv.

The prime minister pledged 3 billion pounds ($3.74 billion) in annual military aid to Ukraine over a "sustained period."

"We will provide three billion pounds every year for as long as it takes. We have just exhausted everything we can in terms of providing equipment," he said.

Cameron welcomed the US allocation of new military aid to Ukraine, but avoided a direct answer to the question of how he thinks the possible re-election of Republican candidate Donald Trump could affect US support for Ukraine.

"It's not for us to decide who the Americans will elect as their president - we will work with whoever it is," Cameron said.

It should be noted that Reuters had previously published this news, but it was later taken down from the agency's website "to clarify some details."
