Apparently, Russia wants to completely destroy Ukraine’s energy system, the EU’s chief diplomat said.
The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, called on Ukraine not to limit the use of Western weapons on Russian territory. He said this on Thursday, August 29, in Brussels at an informal meeting of foreign ministers of EU member states with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba.
“Restrictions on the use of weapons transferred to Ukraine must be removed. The full use (of weapons – ed.) must be allowed to strike military targets in Russia in accordance with international rules. Must be- the Ukrainians are targeting the areas where Russia is bombing Ukraine. Ukraine is asking for it, and now will be an important moment for everyone to understand why,” Borrell said.
He said that “by launching an attack on Russian territory, the Ukrainians showed a lot of disrespect.”
“This Kursk operation is a blow to Putin’s narrative of this war. This is important strategic news, but at the same time Russia continues to attack civilians and civilian infrastructure. On Monday, August 26, the Russia air strikes with more than 300 missiles and drones against Ukrainian cities, targeting critical energy infrastructure.
In turn, Dmitry Kuleba said that the partners should make a bold decision, that is, “allow Ukraine to carry out legitimate strikes on legitimate military targets deep in Russia.”
“Here, we are mainly talking about the airports that Russia uses to launch its bombers, strategic bombers and tactical bombers to attack the armed forces of Ukraine, to attack Ukrainian cities and infrastructure. If we are given enough missiles, if we are allowed to carry out strikes, we will significantly reduce Russia’s ability to destroy our critical infrastructure, and we will improve the situation for our forces,” said the minister.
He recalled that Russia’s success depends on one thing – the willingness of partners to make bold decisions.
“If the decision is made, Ukraine is successful on the ground, if they don’t do it, then don’t complain about Ukraine, complain about yourself,” said Kuleba.
We remind you that Ukraine has prepared a list of targets on Russian territory that it is asking for permission to hit with Western missiles. This issue will be discussed in the negotiations in Washington.
