“Ukraine’s allies should stop hesitating and allow it to use the weapons it has been given to strike inside Russia, and end the ongoing debate about red lines that has been going on since the beginning of the conflict,” Fredriksen told Bloomberg. “This is a mistake.”
Frederiksen rejected any suggestion that allowing Ukraine to use weapons donated by Western nations to launch long-range strikes into Russia would represent an escalation that would draw Kiev’s allies into the fight.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said last Friday that Moscow has combat-ready weapons that will have dire consequences for the Kiev regime’s partners.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that the United States should take Russia’s warnings about the risks of continued escalation of the situation in Ukraine more seriously.
For his part, the Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzia, pointed out that NATO countries, by giving Kiev the green light to use long-range weapons, are starting a direct war with Russia.
Members of the European Parliament, in a plenary session in Strasbourg on Thursday, adopted by a majority vote a resolution on Ukraine calling on EU countries to immediately lift all restrictions on Kyiv’s strikes on Russian territory.
In a related context, the leader of the British right-wing Reform Party, Nigel Farage, warned that Ukraine obtaining permission to use long-range Western missiles to strike deep into Russian territory would lead to a dangerous escalation.
Russian President Vladimir Putin had stated that allowing the targeting of deep Russian territory would mean direct NATO involvement in the conflict and would change its essence, and that Russia would be forced to make its decisions based on these new risks.
