Ukraine has repeatedly used long-range capabilities against targets in the temporarily occupied territories. However, Russia itself began to act only when targets on its territory were hit. This was stated by the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Georgiy Tykhyi, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, UNN reports.

This was the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry's response to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin's claim that the strike on the Dnipro River by the allegedly newest medium-range ballistic missile, the Oreshnik, was a response to the use of Western missiles against targets in Russia.
Tikhiy emphasized that Vladimir Putin "began to fuss" only when targets on the territory of the Russian Federation were hit, which means that he is well aware of the difference between Russian territory and the territories he is trying to take away from Ukraine.
And for clarity: Ukraine has every right under international law to strike any legitimate military targets on Russian territory. Ukraine is defending itself under Article 51 of the UN Charter. russia can only blame itself for the consequences of its decision to attack Ukraine,
Recall
Russia used an "advanced" intermediate-range ballistic missile during a strike on Ukraine.
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is quoted by the Russian media as saying that Russia has attacked Ukraine by testing a "new" medium-range ballistic missile, the Oreshnik.
