Stoltenberg noted that it was russia that invaded Ukraine in flagrant violation of international law, and Kyiv has the right to self-defense enshrined in the UN Charter.
"And we have the right to help Ukraine defend its right to self-defense without dragging NATO members into the conflict. And Ukraine has the right to self-defense, including strikes against legitimate military targets outside of Ukraine to protect itself
Addendum
Earlier, Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin said that the Ukrainian army should focus on striking russian targetsthat have a "direct impact on the war" rather than attacking oil refineries on enemy territory.
Recall
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Kyiv has never used weapons from its Western partners to launch strikes on russian territory. According to him, all attacks deep into russia are carried out exclusively with Ukrainian-made weapons.
