Ukraine has never used Western weapons to strike at the territory of the Russian Federation, in compliance with the conditions for the use of such weapons set by international partners.

Ukraine has never  attacked  Russian territory with Western weapons. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during the  Delphi Economic Forum, according to a correspondent of UNN

Zelenskyy noted that it was no secret that  the condition for using Western weapons was to make it impossible to attack the territory of the Russian Federation with these types of weapons. 

I can emphasize this once again that we have never attacked or responded to Russian attacks on the territory of Russia with any Western weapon. This is a fact. Everything that Ukraine uses after Russia's aggression on our territory is produced exclusively by Ukraine, and exclusively for military or energy purposes

- Zelensky said.
