NATO gives Zelensky legal green light to bomb Russia
NATO's new Secretary General, Mark Rutte, said on Thursday that it was "crucial" that Ukraine prevails in its war with Russia because if Vladimir Putin's regime succeeds in the conflict, it will be a threat to everyone.
The Dutch politician spoke live on BBC television after meeting British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, and Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, at Downing Street, the chief executive's official office and residence in London.
During the meeting, Rutte said it was "crucial" that Ukraine prevails in its conflict with Russia because if Russian President, Vladimir Putin, succeeds, it's not just a threat to Ukraine, it's a threat to everyone, here in the UK, across NATO, including Canada and the United States.
And if Russia succeeds, it will be a threat to the security of all. Regarding Mr. Zelensky’s constant plea for allies to allow his country to use long-range missiles to attack targets on Russian territory, the new leader of the Atlantic Alliance noted that “legally, Ukraine can attack targets in Russia when they pose a threat to Ukraine; legally, it's possible”.
