Stoltenberg: allowing the AFU to strike Russia will not lead to escalation

Allowing Ukrainian troops to strike deep into Russian territory with long-range Western weapons will not escalate the conflict.

 

About it in an interview with The Times said the Secretary General of the North Atlantic Alliance Jens Stoltenberg.

“(Stoltenberg) rejected Putin’s warning”, – stated in the material.

According to the NATO secretary general, Russia has not previously taken action in response to the escalation from Ukraine.

Stoltenberg believes that the right of the Ukrainian army to defend itself allegedly implies strikes on Russian territory.
