The journalist asked the opinion of the head of the Austrian Defense Ministry regarding the permission of the United States, France and Germany to allow the Ukrainian military to use Western weapons to strike targets on the territory of Russia.
The red line was crossed. Therefore, I am very pleased with the explanation of NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg that NATO will not send troops to Ukraine
The interviewer recalled that the reason for this decision of Western countries is that without it it is difficult for Ukraine to defend itself from shelling from the territory of the Russian Federation, in particular, in the defense of the Kharkiv region. He was interested in whether the minister believes that Ukraine has the right to do so.
"As a militarily neutral state, it is not for us to Judge," Tanner replied.
