If Ukraine's partners lift restrictions on the use of their weapons for strikes against Russia, it will only contribute to Kyiv's peace efforts. This was stated by High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell in X, reports UNN.

Borrell emphasized that the offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region “dealt a serious blow to the narrative” of Vladimir Putin.
Lifting the restrictions on the use of forces and means against the Russian military involved in the aggression against Ukraine, in accordance with international law, would have several important consequences. In particular:
- strengthening Ukraine's self-defense, depriving Russia of territory to attack and bomb Ukrainian cities and infrastructure;
- saving lives and reducing destruction in Ukraine;
- helping to advance peace efforts
He also pointed to his recent conversation with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, where he assured him of the EU's support for Ukraine's fight against Russian aggression.
I look forward to meeting him in Brussels and discussing with the EU Foreign and Defense Ministers next week to move forward with our support for Ukraine
Recall
In the United States, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for lifting restrictions on strikes on Russian territory. According to him, this will help Ukraine to limit Russia's actions in southern Ukraine and push the occupier out of there.
