Rutte on Ukraine's strikes on Russia with long-range weapons
Oct 10, 2024
The question of allowing Ukraine to use long-range weapons against targets in the Russian Federation is a matter for a particular ally. However, there are all legal grounds for the authorization.
According to RBC-Ukraine, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte told reporters.
According to him, the question of how the weapons provided to Ukraine can be used is a matter for individual allies.
“Legally, it is possible, because legally Ukraine has the right to use its weapons if they can hit targets in Russia, if these targets pose a threat to Ukraine. But whether individual allies will do this is ultimately always up to them,” Rutte said.
The NATO Secretary General said that this issue was also discussed during the trilateral meeting, which was attended by him, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
“We discussed this today. But ultimately, it depends on the individual allies,” Rutte reiterated.-
