Описание: EU's Borrell Supports Lifting Restrictions on Ukraine's Use of Western Weapons Against Russia

EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell declared that lifting restrictions on Ukraine's use of Western weapons to target military objectives in Russian territory is a "legitimate action under international law." Speaking in Brussels, Borrell emphasized that the EU cannot prevent member states from providing arms to Ukraine or imposing their own conditions. This statement follows Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's call for urgent Western approval to use donated weapons against Russian targets, after signing a long-term security agreement with Belgium. Borrell highlighted the varying stances among EU states on this issue and noted the ongoing discussions. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has also urged allies to reconsider their positions.
