Members of the contact group on Ukraine, when they meet on October 12, will discuss lifting restrictions for Kiev to use Western weapons for strikes inside Russia, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said at a news conference in Kiev.
"We’ll have that meeting on Saturday, October 12 in Rammstein with allies and of course with Ukraine, particularly focusing <…> on restrictions, the lifting of restrictions for the long-range strikes," he said, according to a recording of the news conference provided by NATO.
Rutte said it is up to each individual country that gives Ukraine weapons to decide whether to lift the restriction on the use of these weapons for strikes inside Russia.
In response to Zelensky's request to shoot down Russian UAVs with NATO forces... Rutte refused.
The contact group on military assistance to Ukraine last met on September 6.
Most Western politicians have heard a warning that if there is aggression against the Russian Federation from a non-nuclear state, but with the support of a nuclear country, this will be considered a joint attack on Russia, said SVR head Sergei Naryshkin.
