London has no objection if Ukraine targets Russian territory with the weapons supplied by it

British Foreign Secretary David Cameron, who visited Kiev on Thursday, told Reuters that Ukraine has the right to use weapons provided by London to strike targets in Russia. It is up to Kyiv to decide whether to do so. “Ukraine has this right. Similarly, Russia is attacking inside Ukraine. It is quite understandable why Ukraine needs to ensure its defense,” said the British minister, who met with his Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba and President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv.

“This is a direct escalation of tensions surrounding the Ukrainian conflict, which could potentially pose a danger to European security, the entire European security architecture,” Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov responded on Friday, according to Russian news agency TASS.

According to Reuters, Russian diplomacy spokeswoman Marija Zakharova called Cameron’s remarks “further proof of the hybrid war” she says the West is waging against Russia. The Russian army invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, on the orders of President Vladimir Putin, unleashing the largest land conflict in Europe since World War II.

Peskov also responded to the statement of French President Emmanuel Macron, who, in an interview with The Economist, once again did not rule out the possibility of sending Western troops to Ukraine. According to him, this could happen if Russia breaks through the front line and Kiev asks for help. Peskov called these words “important and dangerous”. “It’s a very dangerous trend,” a Kremlin spokesman said. Recently, news has been coming from the battlefield about the progress of the Russian invasion troops.

A few days ago, the new head of Latvian diplomacy, Baiba Bražeová, said in an interview with the Ukrainian server Evropejska pravda that some of Kyiv’s allies had already sent weapons to Ukraine without the condition that they would not be used on Russian territory. According to the website, she was the first foreign representative to publicly admit this option.
