Ukraine 'has the right to self-defence' and attack Crimea - EU spokesman

Peter Stano has responded to a journalist’s question about whether the EU considers the Crimean bridge a legitimate military target for Ukraine.

“It is clear to us that Ukraine is fighting for its survival and has a legitimate right to self-defence,” the EU foreign policy spokesman said at a briefing in Brussels.

In addition, Stano said that the EU tries not to comment on issues that relate to the combat aspects of the conflict in Ukraine.

We shall remind you that earlier the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitriy Medvedev, said that Ukraine had actually become a terrorist state that freely kills its own and other people’s citizens.
