Ukraine should be able to strike military targets on Russian territory as it defends its critical infrastructure
About this, according to the data Bloombergon the sidelines of the meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Bucharest, Latvian Foreign Minister Edgar Rinkevich said, informs Censor. NO with reference to Espresso.
“We should allow the Ukrainians to use weapons to attack missile sites or airfields from where these operations (attacks on Ukraine’s infrastructure) are carried out,” he said.
The head of the Latvian Foreign Ministry added that the members of the Alliance “should not be afraid” of escalation.
Rinkevich noted that some other NATO member states also believe that Ukraine should not have restrictions on the use of weapons. But it is individual states that ultimately decide to supply Kyiv with one or another weapon.
As you know, the USA did not impose direct restrictions on how Ukraine should use the received weapons, but still refused to send weapons with a sufficient range – for example, ATACMS with a range of up to 300 kilometers – to launch strikes on the territory of Russia.
Joe Biden’s administration considers such a move a possible reason for the escalation of the Russian-Ukrainian war or its spread to the territory of NATO.
