Ukraine is not allowed to “use long-range weaponry against military targets on Russian territory” unless a “permission” is obtained, the Ukrainian President said.
According to President Zelenskyy: “During the meeting with @SecGenNATO Mark Rutte, I provided an update on the battlefield situation, specifically highlighting the involvement of North Korean troops in Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. A more decisive response from Western countries to North Korea’s new role in the Russia-Ukraine war is needed.
We also discussed the implementation of decisions made at the NATO Washington Summit, particularly the strengthening of air defense and investments in Ukrainian production of shells, drones, and long-range weapons.
Ukraine requires permission to use long-range weaponry against military targets on Russian territory.”
