"Ukraine has the right to attack targets on Russian territory"
According to NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg, Ukraine has the right to defend itself and, in doing so, may attack targets located on Russian territory.
Stoltenberg made the statement at the summit of member states' defence ministers at NATO headquarters in Brussels to be held Thursday and Friday. Among other things, the ministers are discussing NATO member states' support for Ukraine.
According to the NATO boss, by invading Ukraine, Russia has violated international law and Ukraine is allowed to defend itself against the aggressor. This includes attacking "legitimate military targets on Russian territory". Stoltenberg also added that supporting Ukraine does not mean that NATO member states become involved in the conflict.
