Stoltenberg: Each coury should decide separately about Ukraine’s use of its missiles
The NATO Secretary General said that each coury should decide for itself whether Ukraine can use its long-range missiles against Russia or not.
According to RCO News Agency, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said in a stateme that he welcomes talks on Ukraine’s use of long-range missiles to attack deep io Russian territory, but any decision on this issue should be made separately by the allies.
For mohs, Ukrainian Preside Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged his allies to allow Kiev to use Western missiles, including the US’s long-range missiles and Britain’s “Storm Shadow,” against Russian soil to limit Moscow’s ability to launch attacks.
British Prime Minister Kerr Starmer and US Preside Joe Biden discussed in Washington on Friday whether Kiev would use long-range missiles against targets in Russia, but no decision was announced.
Speaking to LBC Radio, Stoltenberg added: “I welcome these developmes and these decisions, but individual allies must make the final decision themselves.” Allies have differe policies in this matter.
According to a Reuters report, some US officials seriously doubt that allowing such missiles to be used against Moscow would make a significa difference in Kiev’s battle against Russian forces.
Russian Preside Vladimir Putin has said that if Ukraine is allowed to attack with Western-made long-range missiles, the West will actually go to war with Russia directly.
NATO Secretary General also said in response to a question about possible Russian retaliation: “There is no risk-free option in war.”
He coinued: But I still believe that the biggest danger for us, for Britain and for NATO will be the victory of Preside Putin in Ukraine.
