Ukraine is the target of an unprovoked and illegal war of aggression by Russia. According to international law, Ukraine has the right to defend itself through military actions directed against enemy territory if they comply with the laws of war. Sweden supports international law and Ukraine’s right to protection,” he said in a commentary to Hallandsposten.
The publication calls on the Swedish government to work to convince other allies of this.
From Sweden we received, for example, Archer self-propelled guns. Such statements were also made in the UK, Estonia, Poland, Lithuania and Finland.
Archer (“Archer”, from English “archer”) is a Swedish 155-mm self-propelled artillery unit based on the Volvo A30D or RMMV HX chassis, designed to destroy manpower, artillery batteries, fortifications, as well as to provide passages in minefields and field barriers.
The loading device allows you to fire six projectiles in 30 seconds along different trajectories. The maximum range is 30 km with a conventional projectile, 40 km with a rocket engine and 60 km with a guided Excalibur projectile.
Background
Jens Stoltenberg called on NATO allies supplying weapons to Ukraine to allow their use for attacks on military targets in Russia.
It’s time for allies to consider whether they should lift some of the restrictions they have placed on the use of the weapons they provided to Ukraine. Especially now, with much of the fighting taking place in Kharkiv, close to the border, denying Ukraine the ability to use these weapons against legitimate military targets on Russian territory makes it very difficult for it to defend itself, Stoltenberg told The Economist.
Stoltenberg noted that the Russians will continue to push and gain minor positions and are willing to pay a very high price for these minor gains.
The NATO chief also rebuked European allies who had promised one million artillery shells: “We haven’t seen anything close to that.”
The Italian government is against Ukraine striking Russian territory with Western weapons
Italy is not at war with anyone, and if it was right to help Ukraine militarily, then there can be no question of lifting the ban on Kiev striking military targets in Russia, said the Deputy Prime Minister of Italy, the leader of the conservative League party “Matteo Salvini.
Nicola Fratoianni from the Left Green Alliance generally stated that the NATO Secretary General uses “irresponsible and dangerous words”: “We are far from being a point of balance, we are facing another step towards military escalation. This is pure madness that brings the world to the brink of nuclear war.”
The German Chancellor has the same position.
The USA is still in thought.
