Whether or not the weapons provided to Ukraine are used to strike targets in Russia is as much as every particular person nation.

We mentioned the usage of Western weapons in opposition to Russian targets, as offered for by worldwide regulation, when proportionate, he stated. Every EU nation should take this choice and take duty for itself, the Excessive Consultant stated.
He famous that international locations that had been initially opposed have modified their minds. Nobody can pressure the EU international locations to make such a call, nobody will determine this on the EU stage, Borel defined.
It’s comprehensible that the Ukrainians need to strike targets in Russia. I perceive the priority about deepening the warfare. Some EU international locations strongly oppose, others undoubtedly assist Kiev’s request.
I am unable to say who would be the majority, individuals are altering their minds and a few who abstained now assist this strategy. No nation within the EU ought to have to fret about being pressured to do one thing they do not need to do, the Excessive Consultant concluded.
